Continental precipitation not routed to the oceans as runoff returns to the atmosphere as evapotranspiration. Partitioning this evapotranspiration flux into interception, transpiration, soil evaporation, and surface water evaporation is difficult using traditional hydrological methods, yet critical for understanding the water cycle and linked ecological processes.

The TES science team meeting will be held at the University of Phoenix in Pasadena on Nov 13 & 14, 2006. We will discuss instrument status, validation, science results, science planning, and algorithm changes.
Aura was transported from NGST to Vandenberg Air Force Base, California to begin launch preparations. The spacecraft will undergo final tests and integration with a Boeing Delta II rocket for a scheduled launch in June.
The TES instrument was delivered to NGST (Northrop Grumman Space Technology in Redondo Beach, California) for spacecraft integration on April 28, 2003.
