Evapotranspiration data are important for water resources management and irrigation design management. The present work aimed to determine the probable reference evapotranspiration Chapecó, Santa Catarina. Daily from 07/01/1973 11/30/2016 Chapecó meteorological station were used. was calculated using Penman-Monteith method grouped into pentads. average, maximum minimum values per pentad as well...

The potential of modeling the FAO Penman-Monteith (FAO-56 PM) method for computing reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) using feed-forward backpropagation artificial neural networks (FFBANN) with minimal measured climate data such as with the air temperature (maximum and minimum) was investigated using local climatic data from the Wa Meteorological weather station. Three FFBANN models were d...
