Accurate spatio-temporal estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) and surface energy fluxes is crucial for many agro-environmental applications, including the determination of water balance, irrigation scheduling, agro-ecological zoning, simulation of global changes in land use and forecasting crop yields. Remote sensing based energy balance models are presently most suitable for estimating ET at both temporal and spatial scales. This study presents an intercomparison of ET maps over the Habra plain in western Algeria obtained with two different models: Ts/VI trapezoid (Surface temperature/Vegetation Index Trapezoid Model) and SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land). Ts/VI trapezoid is the most used model, due to its simplicity, ease of use, few data input requirements and relatively high accuracy. It allows estimating ET directly by using the Priestley-Taylor equation. Whereas SEBAL allows estimating ET as the residual term of the energy balance equation, by using a rather complex hot and cold pixel based contextual approach to internally calibrate sensible heat flux through an iterative approach. The data set consists of four Landsat-8 OLI/TIRS images acquired on 2018-2019 and some ground measurements. In conclusion, the results show that SEBAL and Ts/VI trapezoid models provide comparable outputs and suggest that both the two models are suitable approaches for ET mapping over agricultural areas where ground measurements are scarce or difficult to collect.
