Abstract
When drought occurs in different regions, evapotranspiration (ET) changes differently with the process of drought. To achieve an accurate monitoring of large-scale drought using remote sensing, it is particularly necessary to clarify the temporal and spatial characteristics of ET changes with soil water content (SWC). Firstly, based on the measured data, combined with the artificial intelligence particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, an empirical model of ET retrieval by FY–4A satellite data was established and the spatial–temporal characteristics of ET changes with SWC were further analyzed. Lastly, different ET regulation regions were distinguished to achieve the remote sensing monitoring of large-scale drought based on SWC. The main results are as follows: (1) The correlation coefficient between the ET estimated by the empirical model and the measured value was 0.48 and the root mean square error was 24 W·m−2. (2) In the areas with extreme water shortage, water limits the conversion rate of net radiation (Rn) to ET (ECR) and surpasses Rn to become the determinative factor of ET. (3) In extreme arid areas, ET has a significant positive correlation with WVP and SWC. In other precipitation areas, ET has a significant linear correlation with WVP, but the slope of the linear fitting line is different for precipitation. The relationship between ET and SWC is more complex. In areas with precipitation exceeding 800 mm, the correlation between SWC and ET is not significant. In areas with precipitation between 200 mm and 800 mm or in alpine regions, SWC and ET have a quadratic relationship. (4) ECR has quadratic correlations with WVP and SWC, and ECR reaches the maximum when WVP = 0.182 kPa and SWC = 0.217 m3∙m−3. ET may be inhibited for water shortage or water supersaturation. (5) In areas where SWC determines ET, the ET stress index (ESI) is inversely proportional to SWC, and in areas where heat affects ET, the ESI is directly proportional to SWC. Therefore, for the accurate monitoring of large-scale drought, various drought monitoring criteria should be determined in different areas and periods, considering information on precipitation, the underlying surface type, and digital elevation.
