Abstract: Evapotranspiration is a key component in assessing the water-heat cycle of desert oasis areas, and monitoring its spatio-temporal variations and studying its driving forces can provide scientific basis for precise water resources management and ecological environment protection. Taking the middle reaches of the Keriya River basin as the study area, this paper analyzes the spatio-temporal variations of evapotranspiration from 2010 to 2022 based on Landsat remote sensing imagery and the SEBS model. The accuracy of the estimation results is verified using evaporation pan measurements and the Penman-Monteith model, and further investigation is conducted on the influencing factors of evapotranspiration. The results show that:①The correlation coefficient and R2 between the SEBS simulated values of evapotranspiration and the evaporation pan observations are 0.93 and 0.87, respectively, with an RMSE of 0.96mm/d. The correlation coefficient and R2 between the SEBS simulated values and the Penman formula observations are 0.90 and 0.81, respectively, with an RMSE of 0.64mm/d. ②The actual evapotranspiration from 2010 to 2022 shows a decreasing trend, with a change rate of 14.75mm/a. It decreases in spring, summer, and autumn, while increases in winter. ③The spatial heterogeneity of evapotranspiration is evident, with high values mainly concentrated near the Keriya River and low values distributed in the sandy areas at the edge of the oasis. In the past 13 years, about 70.2% of the study area's pixels show no significant decrease trend, while 10.4% of the pixels exhibite a significant decrease trend. ④Evapotranspiration is significantly correlated with temperature, air pressure, sunshine duration, land surface temperature, and NDVI. It has a weak correlation with wind speed and surface albedo. Overall, the research results can effectively simulate the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of evapotranspiration in the middle reaches of the Keriya River basin. This study contributes to the rational planning and management of water resources in the basin.
