Title: Estimates and Zoning of reference evapotranspiration by FAO- Penman-Monteith (Case Study: North West of Iran)
Abstract: Determination of evapotranspiration in many studies, including the hydrologic balance, design and management of irrigation systems, simulation of product and management of water resources is very important. For this purpose, the data required includes daily temperature, humidity, wind speed, solar radiation pressure and in the period 1990-2013 from the meteorological stations in the area is the area that includes 35 stations were taken. And to estimate evapotranspiration at the regional stations of the area we use Excel and GIS capabilities and its regression equation was obtained. To generalize stations in the region of interpolation we use methods IDW (Inverse Distance Weighting) and the relationship between height and evapotranspiration with a correlation coefficient of linear regression was used 0.52. The study results showed that the IDW method in more accurate than Linear regression relationship between height and evapotranspiration because it has lower RMSE (0.26). The total average reference evapotranspiration in the study area for the above mentioned methods is 988.657 and 1036 respectively and It was also found that the northern, eastern and lake basin, evapotranspiration intensity is more than the North-West, West, South-West and South-East and East of study area.
