Finally, evaluation of these two remote sensing products (merged GOES-MODIS and
stand-alone MODIS) is undertaken as lumped input in the National Weather Service
(NWS) River Forecasting Centers (RFC) operational forecasting models in two
mountainous watersheds from the UCRB. The preliminary results show that PETs
estimated using the satellite data is a suitable replacement of the static PET in the
snow-dominated basins of the UCRB region. The new remote-sensing PET available
in nearreal-time which we advocate will ultimately provide more reasonable
representation of current climatological conditions for streamflow forecasting, drought
monitoring and crop water demand.
