This Issue://*/Remote Sensing Evapotranspiration (Part 1) /*and Some 
Other Good Things.

*REMOTE SENSING EVAPOTRANSPIRATION (Part 1) - *In April, Douglas Nyolei 
asked, /Could anyone be having a link to remote sensing products of 
Evapotranspiration especially around East African. I would greatly 
appreciate getting a link to these data, especially generated from 
Landsat Imagery. If a link doesn't exist, I would also appreciate 
getting advice on a quick way of generating these products. For example 
which GIS/remote sensing software has this model built within it./ Here 
is part one of some sites that may be of interest. If you know of 
others, please contact Douglas at dnyolei at YAHOO.COM
