Abstract
AbstractThe Abtew and Jensen-Haise solar radiation-based equations were used to estimate evapotranspiration, considering the limited climatic data in many locations. Both equations were proven to successfully predict the potential evapotranspiration (ETO) compared with the standard Penman–Monteith (PM) method in two Mediterranean countries. Calibration of the constant coefficient k of the Abtew equation showed substantial differences compared to recommended values (1.22 vs. 0.53), with the highest values observed during September (1.46). Validation of ETO measurements using calibrated Abtew equation against the PM method indicated a high correlation coefficient (r2 = 0.97, RMSE = 0.61). Further, evapotranspiration requirements, using the calibrated empirical equation, were calculated for olives (449 mm) and citrus (807 mm) showing a good agreement with recommended values for dry climate regions. Therefore, the tested equations could be safely used to predict frequencies and doses of irrigation in semi-arid climates, considering limited climatic data availability.
