Zamra catchment, Upper Tekeze Basin, Northern Ethiopia. Direct field estimates of potential evapotranspiration (PET) remain a challenge, because they are expensive and have limited spatial representativeness. An alternative is to derive PET by remote sensing as product reference (ETo) land use-land cover (LULC) factor (Kc). The aims this study were to: i) validate satellite-derived Daily Refere...

Evapotranspiration, a major component in terrestrial water balance and net primary productivity models, is difficult to measure and predict. This study compared five models of potential evapotranspiration (PET) applied to a ponderosa pine forest ecosystem at an AmeriFlux site in Northern California. The AmeriFlux sites are research forests across the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Costa Ric...

Three methods including the Penman-Monteith (PM), Priestley-Taylor (PT), and 1963 Penman equation (PE) for calculating daily reference evapotranspiration (ETo) were evaluated in the Maritime region of Canada with the data collected from 2004 to 2007. An automatically operated meteorological station located on the Potato Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Fredericton, New Brunswi...

this study aimed at determining the evapotranspiration and crop coefficient (kc) of sugar beet during the plant growth using drainage lysimeter by using water balance and experimental methods for three years in shahrekord. after sugar beet planting and out of lysimeter, evapotranspiration was measured weekly and monthly by measuring the factors of the water- balance equation. results showed tha...

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 ...

abstract potential evapotranspiration is one of basic parameter in hydrologic cycle that should be estimate in irrigation design and scheduling, watershed hydrology studies. many applications in diverse disciplines require estimates of evapotranspiration (et) at hourly or smaller time steps. the primary objectives of this study were to compare the american society of civil engineers (asce) and ...
