•PAR is a major control on ET in the coastal saltmarsh ecosystem at hourly, diel, and multiday scales.•The semidiurnal tides co-control ET with PAR, forming a complex ET pattern.•Wind direction fundamentally changed the nature of the interactions of ET with other variables.•Tidal inundation suppress...
