Since air temperature records are readily available around the world, the models based on air temperature for estimating solar radiation have been widely accepted. In this paper, a new model based on Hargreaves and Samani (HS) method for estimating monthly average daily global solar radiation is proposed. With statistical error tests, the performance of the new model is validated by comparing w...

Daily evapotranspiration (ET) rates are needed for irrigation scheduling. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining accurate field measurements, ET rates are commonly estimated from weather parameters. A few empirical or semi–empirical methods have been developed for assessing daily reference crop ET, which is converted to actual crop ET using crop coefficients. The FAO Penman–Monteith method, which...

Abstract This study aimed to accurately estimate daily wheat evapotranspiration using two remote sensing algorithms, Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) and Algorithm for Land (SEBAL), in central Khuzestan province during 2019–2020. The results of algorithms were compared with lysimeter (as a direct method), FAO-Penman–Monteith (FAO-PM), temperature-based methods (Hargreaves-Samani Blaney-Crid...

Objetivou-se determinar modelos de estimativa da evapotranspiração referência (ETo) para a região sul do Triângulo Mineiro. Para calcular as estimativas ETo foram utilizados dados diários INMET Frutal, Conceição das Alagoas e Uberaba-MG. Foram testados seis assim compará-los com o modelo Penman Monteith (PM), que foi considerado padrão. Após cálculo diária, aplicada análise regressão, utilizand...

A. Samani, I. Sack, D. Plewes University of Toronto, Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Synopsis To increase the displacement SNR in breast MR elastography, tissues are compressed significantly. As a result, breast tissues undergo large deformations. This leads to significant geometric and material nonlinearities. In this study, methods for treating ...
