The validation and analysis of latent heat flux products are critical for research on climate change and energy circulation. High-resolution global land surface satellite evapotranspiration (Hi-GLASS ET) products, which integrate five traditional evapotranspiration algorithms, can produce high-precision products for land surface latent heat flux. However, these products are yet to be validated. This study obtained multiple sets of valid validation data by comparing the latent heat flux observed values from Ameriflux flux observation sites with the corresponding estimated values of Hi-GLASS land surface latent heat flux products. The validation results yielded a squared correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.6, a root mean square error (RMSE) of 34.4 W/m2, an average bias of -13.4 W/m2, and Kling-Gupta efficiency (KGE) of 0.49. These suggest that Hi-GLASS latent heat flux products boast high precision and that their algorithms enjoy satisfactory fitting results. In addition, spatial distributions imply that Hi-GLASS latent heat flux products conform to normal natural laws. Due to data acquisition limitations, the validation of this study was conducted based on data from only 18 sites in the U.S., and further validation using data from other areas is required.
