Actionable Evapotranspiration Data: An overview of a first-of-its-kind post-processing pipeline in LI-COR Cloud, from data cleaning to gap filling to accumulations.
Watch RecordingKNOW YOUR ACTUAL WATER USE
When water is precious, managing it requires increased precision. Traditional methods provide estimations of evapotranspiration (ET). Instead of estimating, modernize your ET measurements with the Water Node from LI-COR. Our streamlined, all-in-one solution quickly gives you directly measured, actual evapotranspiration data.
The Water Node uses a single sensor–the LI-710 Evapotranspiration Sensor–to deliver accurate, actual ET measurements. Easy to install or move, the sensor connects automatically to cloud-based software where you can get trustworthy data to make confident decisions about your water use.
Accurate, Actual ET
All-in-One Solution

GET ACTUAL ET DATA,
NOT ESTIMATES
The eddy covariance method is the scientifically validated standard for measuring actual evapotranspiration. However, the method has traditionally been a high-cost and complex undertaking for the research community. For practical applications, a formula is used for calculating estimated evapotranspiration instead of directly measuring ET. This calculation requires a cluster of basic sensors that measure temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. The problem with estimated ET measurements is that they lack precision and accuracy and leave you with high risk in your water management plan. Ultimately, estimates lead to overwatering.
Using the only sensor that measures actual evapotranspiration, the Water Node provides real-time, validated data you can trust to make informed decisions about:
- Irrigation management
- Water budgeting
- Drought monitoring
- Verification of remote sensing
- Regulatory oversight
- Watershed management
AN OUT-OF-THE-BOX
TURNKEY SOLUTION
The Water Node includes all the hardware and software you need to take actual evapotranspiration measurements: the LI-710 Evapotranspiration Sensor, an Internet of the Environment (IoE) module, and software in LI-COR Cloud. The all-in-one solution is easy to set up, self-powered, and low maintenance, so you can scale your ET measurements across a large site or to multiple locations. When you move the Water Node, GPS automatically recognizes the new location and displays it in the Cloud. Within minutes of setup, all your ET data is automatically available in our cloud-based software.

了解更多BUILT ON THE SCIENTIFIC STANDARD BY THE INDUSTRY LEADERS
For more than 50 years, we have been building trusted tools for environmental monitoring. The leading global research networks use our solutions, and researchers worldwide trust our eddy covariance systems to take precise, accurate measurements for publication in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals.
We wrote the book on the eddy covariance method–and the Water Node is designed, engineered, and built on that foundation.
HOW DOES THE WATER NODE MEASURE ACTUAL EVAPOTRANSPIRATION?
The LI-710 Evapotranspiration Sensor applies the eddy covariance method to measurements of vertical wind and water vapor concentration at 10 Hz, providing fully processed results every 30 minutes.
