Cover Story: The agro-hydrologic VegET model simulates daily soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and runoff using inflow–outflow flux accounting and saturation excess principles in a control volume defined by the root zone. The updated VegET v2.0 includes snowpack and snowmelt processes by adapting an existing temperature-index approach. The evaluation results indicated a successful integration of remote sensing and gridded weather data to represent key hydrologic processes for various applications including drought monitoring. By connecting the land surface phenology parameter with land cover and using projected climatic variables, the VegET model can be used for scenario building of the effect of land cover and climate change on processes such as the timing and duration of snowmelt and quantify the severity and extent of drought around the world.
