This paper is an attempt to assess the potential and usefulness of ANN based modeling for evaporation prediction from a reservoir, where in classical and empirical equations failed to predict the evaporation accurately. The meteorological data set of daily pan evaporation, temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, wind speed is used in this study. The performance of feed forward back pro...

This guide to estimating daily and monthly actual, potential, reference crop and pan evaporation covers topics that are of interest to researchers, consulting hydrologists and practicing engineers. Topics include estimating actual evaporation from deep lakes and from farm dams and for catchment water balance studies, estimating potential evaporation as input to rainfall-runoff models, and refer...

Reference crop evapotranspiration (ET o), used to determine actual crop evapotranspiration, is often estimated from pan evaporation (EP) data. However, uncertainties in the relationship between ET o and EP often result in unreliable estimate of crop evapotranspiration. This study investigated the relationship between measured and estimated crop evapotranspirations, ET m and ET e, respectively, ...

evaporation is one of the main parameters for the optimum operation of reservoirs, design of irrigation systems and scientific management of water resources. accurate estimation of the water evaporation level is crucial in any region especially in arid and semiarid regions. in this study, the feasibility of simulation of pan evaporation in maraghe station using the multiple regression models we...

this study was conducted to determine the appropriate irrigation interval on the basis of cumulative water evaporation from standard evaporation pan (class a) and to find out the effects of irrigation regimes on growth indices and on qualitative and quantitative yields of sugar beet. the experiment was conducted in 2005 at the lavark agricultural experiment station fields, isfahan university of...

in order to study the effects of irrigation regimes, planting season and seed priming on grain yield and components of hashem genotype of chickpea in nurabad, northern lorestan, two 3-replicate split-plot field experiments, one autumn- and the other spring-sown, were conducted. the primed and non-primed seeds (subplots) of this chickpea genotype were sown in autumn and spring and subjected to f...

Monthly composites of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Indices (NDVI), derived from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVILRR), were transformed linearly into monthly evaporation rates and compared with detailed hydrologic-model simulation results for five watersheds across the United States. Model-simulated monthly evapora...

[1] A 1-dimensional surface energy balance model is applied to produce continuous simulations of daily lake evaporation of Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon (UKL) for the period 1950–2005. The model is implemented using observed data from land-based sites and rafts collected during 2005–2006. Progressively longer, temporally overlapping simulations are produced using observed forcing data sets from si...
