Abstract
Actual evapotranspiration (AET) estimates representing four Mediterranean vegetation formations (from shrubland to dense woodland) have been obtained using a physically-based hydrological model and a simplified residual energy budget method applied to HCMM satellite sensor data. A good agreement between simulated and remotely sensed AET values has been obtained. Results are discussed with reference to roughness scaling lengths for momentum and heat.
