Data Availability

Please be advised that daily data prior to 2024 is currently of limited availability across all models. This is due to an ongoing effort to rebuild and standardize the pre-2024 datasets. The updates will ensure consistency in band names, data types, and model versions.

We appreciate your patience as we work to improve data quality and usability. Full access will be restored progressively as the standardized datasets are finalized.

The table below presents the start dates of records for each variable–timestep combination, covering data through 2025.

*ET data with a spacial CIMIS reference is only available starting from 2003.

For retrieval of large volumes of data, users are encouraged to retrieve OpenET data directly from the OpenET data archives in the Google Earth Public Data Catalog. Data will be periodically added so check back often.

The following dataset are available from 2000-2024 on Google Earth Engine:

• Ensemble Monthly ET

• eeMETRIC Monthly ET

• SIMS Monthly ET

• PT-JPL Monthly ET

• SSEBop Monthly ET

• DisALEXI Monthly ET *

• geeSEBAL Monthly ET

Users may register their Google Earth Engine account using their Cloud Project ID in their OpenET profile. Linking a user’s Cloud Project ID to their OpenET account will increase quota limits.

Users may still need to break larger queries into smaller units (in terms of spatial area or time period) to avoid memory timeout errors on Earth Engine.

*DisALEXI is only available back to 2001 due to model design and input limitations.
