In order to study regional climate change and drought monitoring, it's necessary to estimate terrestrial evapotranspiration accurately. Based on the observation data of Semi-Arid Climate Observatory and Laboratory of Lanzhou University(SACOL), the evapotranspiration simulated by Community Land Surface Model(CLM 4.0)and the normalized vegetation index(NDVI)observed by MODIS, a new method named simulation-correction was developed to estimate the terrestrial evapotranspiration over the semi-arid region of Loess Plateau. The results show that CLM can simulate the trend of terrestrial evapotranspiration well, but there are some deviations between the simulated and observed values; the relative error of simulated evapotranspiration under dry condition is proportional to NDVI, and the relative error increases with the increase of NDVI; the relationship between the relative error of simulated evapotranspiration and NDVI under wet condition follows the quadratic curve; the deviation between calculated evapotranspiration and observed values was significantly reduced after CLM simulation is corrected by the new method; compared to CLM, the MBE decreases from 9.71 W/m2 to 2.77 W/m2, while the RMSE decreases from 34.16 W/m2 to 8.58 W/m2 and correlation coefficients increase from 0.67 to 0.94. The ‘simulation-correction' method improves the estimation accuracy of terrestrial evapotranspiration over the semi-arid region of the Loess Plateau due to considering the vegetation.
