Fig. 3: Monthly climatology of paired modelled and observed ET for cropland sites.

a, Monthly climatology of paired OpenET5 and flux tower ET19,20 from cropland sites. b, The residual of monthly mean ET (model minus mean closed flux ET). Unclosed and closed labels refer to flux tower ET before and after energy balance closure correction. Dashed lines represent the closed flux ET mean plus two standard errors of the mean and unclosed flux ET mean minus two standard errors of the mean.
