The commonly applied surface temperature-vegetation index (T-s-VI) triangle method is used to estimate regional evapotranspiration (ET) in and and semi-arid regions. A practical algorithm based on the T-s-VI triangle method is developed to determine quantitatively the dry and wet edges of this triangle space. First, the T-s-VI triangle method is reviewed. Assumptions involved in this method are highlighted, and advantages, disadvantages and applicability are discussed. Then, an experimental use of the T-s-VI triangle method is developed and applied to several MODIS/TERRA datasets acquired during the Heihe Field Experiment from May 20th to August 21st, 2008. The sensible heat fluxes retrieved using MODIS data from a grassland located in the middle reach of Heihe river basin, Northwest China, are in good agreement with those measured from a Large Aperture Scintillometer (LAS). The Root Mean Square Error of this comparison is 25.07 W/m(2). It is shown that determination of dry and wet edges using the proposed algorithm is accurate enough at least in most cases of our study for the estimates of regional surface ET.
