Evapotranspiration serves as a crucial link in the global water-carbon-energy coupled cycle, playing a pivotal role in quantifying the hydrological cycle's response to global changes. Against the backdrop of global warming and intensified hydrological cycles, global evapotranspiration exhibits clear interannual and seasonal variations. However, due to the complex spatiotemporal variations of ev...
