I've been following the news about discontinuing #NOAA data with sadness and apprehension. This is all very messed up.

Currently I rely heavily on #nasapower #gpm and #chirps data for monitoring agroclimatic risks. So I have two questions:

1) How are those data affected by those NOAA cuts?

2) Even if the data is not affected, I'm considering substituting those sources. What are some candidates? For NasaPower, #era5 looks like a good candidate. What about precipitation? Any jaxa products?

Any #nasapower users around? I'm interested in the EVPTRNS (Evapotranspiration Energy Flux) and I'd like to understand it a bit better.

Is this a reference ETo, calculated using some equation (FAO-56), the same we use in #agrometeorology with a reference vegetation surface and no water shortage?

Or is this the output of some model that considers a different vegetation cover, giving me the actual evapotranspiration taking water shortage into account?
