## 1 Introduction
Therefore, it is important to understand the spatial and temporal characteristics of evapotranspiration in the Yiluo River Basin to help understand the relationship between water balance and the evolution of water resources in the basin and solve the ecological and environmental problems, water shortage problems and rational development and utilization of water resources. Evaporation varies greatly across watersheds or regions, and it is difficult to observe it directly. The evapotranspiration in watersheds or regions is often obtained through estimation. Common evapotranspiration estimation methods include the Bowen ratio energy balance method, instrument measurement methods, water balance methods, the Penman equation method, the Priestley-Taylor formula method, remote sensing estimations, etc. The instrumental method can accurately estimate evapotranspiration at the site scale but cannot fully consider the complex topographical physical properties and the temporal and spatial heterogeneity of the geometric structure [2]; the water balance method can obtain a relatively accurate total evapotranspiration in a basin within a period of time, but it cannot reflect the spatial and temporal dynamic changes in watersheds or regions. Remote sensing cannot directly observe evapotranspiration but indirectly estimates evapotranspiration by measuring environmental parameters related to evapotranspiration, which can obtain the temporal variation and spatial distribution of evapotranspiration, which has obvious advantages in regional evapotranspiration monitoring [15]. Remote sensing models for estimating evapotranspiration include the RS-PM model [16], Priestley-Taylor model [17], SEBAL model [18], S-W double-layer model [19], Ts-VI model, MEP model, EmpiricalModel [20] and so on. There have been many studies using remote sensing to estimate evapotranspiration. For example, [PERSON] and [PERSON] [21] used remote sensing data to estimate surface evapotranspiration over a large heterogeneous area; [PERSON], [PERSON] [22] proposed a simple method to estimate actual evapotranspiration using net radiation, vegetation index and temperature; [PERSON], [PERSON] [23] combined a two-source model, a leaf stomatal model and a light-use model to calculate the evapotranspiration of ecosystems; and [PERSON], [PERSON] [24] estimated the evapotranspiration of mountainous watersheds in the Lesser Himalayas of the North Akhand Himalayas, India, using the METRIC model based on the surface energy balance algorithm. The estimation of evapotranspiration by remote sensing models requires a large amount of data, such as hydrological data, meteorological data, and remote sensing images, but basin/regional scale evapotranspiration estimation is still difficult due to the lack of air resistance data (e.g., wind speed, impedance, and vegetation height). The PT-JPL model [25] requires less driving data and all of them conventional remote sensing data and meteorological observation data, which are easy to obtain and solve the problem of difficult-to-obtain data such as ground impedance data. The PT-JPL is widely used for the estimation of evapotranspiration and its components at sites, regions and even globally and has shown high simulation accuracy. [PERSON], [PERSON] [26] [PERSON], [PERSON] [26] [PERSON], [PERSON] [26] indicated that the PT-JPL model has high stability and applicability in estimating evapotranspiration and component simulation of deep forest ecosystems in eastern China; [PERSON], [PERSON] [27] compared four models, PM-MOD, GLEAM, PT-JPL, and SEBS, and found that the PT-JPL model showed better applicability in most ecosystems and climate zones; [PERSON], [PERSON] [5] studied the spatial and temporal variability of evapotranspiration in terrestrial ecosystems in China based on the PT-JPL model; and [PERSON], [PERSON] [28] compared the evapotranspiration calculated by the PT-JPL, Penman-Monteith, and SEBS models with the data observed from flux towers and found that the PT-JPL model performed best overall.
