Abstract
Increased model complexity and data quantities have raised the computing power requirement for efficient evapotranspiration (ET) estimation. A cloud-based service is presented to encapsulate and publish the ETWatch modeling algorithms as web application programming interfaces (APIs) in a consistent style to provide extensible model calculation service and data storage service in a cloud platform for water managers and stakeholders. The prototype system, named ETWatch Cloud allows users to rapidly and easily set up an ET generation project for any region of interest by invoking APIs directly to produce ET data using a web browser or local integrated development environment. The case study demonstrates that ETWatch Cloud can provide a highly scalable and interoperable ET generation tool for stakeholders from ET community, helping to facilitate the application of remote sensing-based ET algorithms for water management in hydrology sector.
