Short summary
The Penman–Monteith–Leuning Version 2.2 dataset provides remote sensing-based coupled estimates of terrestrial evapotranspiration and gross primary production from 1982 to near present. Calibrated at 208 flux stations and validated against water balances in 152 river basins, this extended record reveals significant increases in global evapotranspiration, vegetation productivity, and water use efficiency, supporting diverse studies in hydrology, ecology, and Earth sciences.
