Evaporation losses from a watertight 6.34 ha rain forest catchment under wet maritime tropical conditions in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico, were determined using complementary hydrological and micrometeorological techniques during 1996 and 1997. At 6.6 mm d−1 for 1996 and 6.0 mm d−1 for 1997, the average evapotranspiration (ET ) of the forest is exceptionally high. Rainfall inte...

The FAO 56 Penman–Monteith equation (PM) is considered the most accurate method for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ETo). However, PM requires a large amount of data that not always available. Thus, objective this study to improve Hargreaves–Samani (HS) estimates in Peruvian Altiplano (PA) by calibrating radiation coefficient KRS. results show modified HS (HSM) ETo at validation after ...

The FAO-56 Penman–Monteith (PM) equation is regarded as the most accurate to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ETo). However, it requires a broad range of data that may not be available or reasonable quality. In this study, nine temperature-based methods were assessed for ETo estimation during irrigation at fourteen locations distributed through hot-summer Mediterranean climate region Alen...
