Accurate modeling of seasonal evapotranspiration fluxes in Amazonia is of great importance to accurate modeling of the global water and carbon cycles. We initiated a Data‐Model Intercomparison Project for the ‘Large‐Scale Biosphere Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia’ (LBA‐DMIP). We used the network of meteorological data from Amazon tower sites (the BrasilFlux network) in forest and converted lands to drive a suite of land surface ecosystem models that simulate energy, water and CO2 fluxes. Here we focus on the observed versus modeled importance of soil moisture and incoming radiation on evapotranspiration (ET).
