Highlights► A remote sensing evapotranspiration model was evaluated in two dryland sites. ► Soil moisture was estimated with a Thermal Inertia index. ► Results in the African savanna were similar to those with measured soil moisture. ► High potential for regionalization as most of inputs are global satellite data.
