Data for: Modeling evapotranspiration and its components of maize for seed production in an arid region of northwest China using a dual crop coefficient and multisource models

In this study, a dual crop coefficient method and a multisource model based on radiation interception by adjacent crop varieties were used to estimate ET and its components in the arid region of northwest China. The dual crop coefficient method and multisource model were validated using observed ET (ETEC), transpiration (T) of female (Tsf) and male (Tsm) parents and evaporation (Es). Observations were made using the eddy covariance system, sap flow measurements, and micro-lysimeter in 2013 and 2014. The ETEC, ET estimated by the dual crop coefficient method (ETC) and by multisource model (ETML), transpiration (T) of female (Tsf) and male (Tsm) parents observed by sap flow, T of female (Tcf) and male (Tcm)parents estimated by the dual crop coefficient method and multisource model (Tmf, Tmm), evaporation (Es) by microlysimeter, estimated by multisource model (Ems) and the dual crop coefficient method (Ecs) were proposed in the data file.
