RESUMEN
En este trabajo se presenta el resultado de la estimacin de la evapotranspiracin por medio de un modelo de
balance de energa. La estimacin se ha realizado para una misma localidad durante un perodo de tiempo de
cuatro meses. Este mtodo permite estimar la evapotranspiracin solamente a partir de imgenes NOAA-AVHRR
y Meteosat. Los resultados obtenidos presentan una buena correlacin con los valores de evapotranspiracin de
referencia obtenidos por distintos mtodos empricos.
ABSTRACT
In this paper we present the result of the evapotranspiration estimation by means of an energy balance model.
The estimation has been performed for the same site during a four month period of time. This method allows to
estimate the evapotranspiration only from NOAA-AVHRR and Meteosat images. A good correlation between the
estimated satellite values and those calculated by different empirical methods were obtained.
