This study is an attempt to find best alternative method to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ETo) for the Nagarjuna Sagar Reservoir Project [NSRP], command area located at Andhra Pradesh, India. When input climatic parameters are insufficient to apply standard Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations Penman–Monteith (P–M) method. To identify the best alternative clima...

abstract one of the losses decrease's ways in fields, is the proper irrigation management, which its base is the accurate estimation of crop water requirement. equations which are used to calculate the reference evapotranspiration (eto), do not use the same climatic parameters and due to their empirical base, are not match to all climatic situations. so it is needed to clarify proper methods fo...

This study compares four different potential evapotranspiration equations according to Priestley Taylor, Kimberly Penman, Penman Monteith (FAO-56) and Hargreaves on a global basis to demonstrate their difference, and assess their impact on the calculation of stream flows. The various equations of potential evapotranspiration show great differences in magnitude. But due to the limited availabili...

Five methods (Thornthwaite, Hamon, Jensen-Haise, Turc, and Penman) for estimating potential evaporation for a reference surface (PEr) were compared to four methods (Priestley-Taylor, McNaughton-Black, Penman-Monteith, and ShuttleworthWallace) for estimating surface-dependent potential evaporation (PEs) using three cover types at each of seven locations from Fairbanks, Alaska, to San Juan, Puert...

ABSTRACT-Different evapotranspiration (ET) estimation equations having different accuracy with different conditions have been developed for ET estimation. This study will firstly focus on the estimation of 13 climatic equations of daily garlic ET estimation whose  ET is measured by lysimeter to provide information which can be helpful in selecting an appropriate ET equation. The paper aims at s...

Most of these problems were presented at the problem session of the 18th British Combinatorial Conference at the University of Sussex, 2–6 July 2001. I have added some problems given to me after the session. Since two of the problems concern circular chromatic number, the entire set has a circular structure; the starting point is fixed by the sixth problem. Problem 1 (BCC18.1) Freese–Nation num...

abstract in recent years, automatic weather stations have been widely used for recording meteorological data in different time scales. therefore the accurate estimation of eto by combination equations can be evaluated using these set of short time scales data. daily eto can also be calculated by summation of hourly eto values. the purpose of this study is to compare the eto values estimated by ...
