This study aims at assessing the accuracy of estimating daily reference evapotranspiration (ETo) computed with NASA POWER reanalysis products. Daily ETo estimated from local observations weather variables in 14 stations distributed across Alentejo Region, Southern Portugal were compared derived data, using raw and bias-corrected datasets. Three different methods used to compute ETo: (a) FAO Pen...

the fao penman - monteith (f-p-m) method is now broadly accepted as the standard for estimating the reference evapotranspiration (et0). the method is also now used for evaluating the temperature-based [blaney-criddle (b-c) and hargreaves-samani (h-s)] and radiation-based [jensen-haise (j-h) and turc (tc)] methods. the objective was to compare the et0 estimated by the b-c, h-s, j-h, tc methods w...

Excellent outcrops of the upper part “Continental Intercalaire” deposits occur in Gara Samani area, southern Algeria. These strata are recognised herein as belonging to Formation, which is composed Vertebrate-rich Sand Member, Sandstone Member and Méguidène Stratified Member. The first two members from a fluvial system last member corresponds an aeolian (dune interdune) system. They have preser...

In this study, the effects of climate change on irrigation water requirement hazelnut trees were investigated in Central Italy. The meteorological variables considered precipitation, temperature, chilling units, and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) hydrological reference evapotranspiration (ET0) based soil balance. Climate data collected from eight stations for period 1974–2021, ET0 was e...
