Mean annual cycles of runoff, evapotranspiration, leaf area index (LAI) and potential vegetation were modeled for Mesoamerica, using the soil-vegetation-atmosphere-transfer (SVAT) model MAPSS with different climatology datasets. The model was calibrated and validated after building a comprehensive database of regional runoff, climate, soils and LAI. The product is the first high resolution (1 km) maps combinging average long-term runoff, evapotranspiration, LAI and potential vegetation types for Mesoamerica.
