Abstract

In this study, the performance of M5 model tree and conventional method for converting pan evaporation data (E p ) to reference evapotranspiration (ET 0 ) were assessed in semi-arid regions. Conventional method uses pan coefficient (K p ) as a factor to convert E p to ET 0 . Two common K p equations for pans with dry fetch (Allen et al. 1998 ; Abdel-Wahed and Snyder in J Irrig Drain Eng 134(4):425–429, 2008 ) were considered for the comparison. The values of ET 0 derived using these three methods were compared to those estimated using the reference FAO Penmane Monteith (FAO-PM) method under semi-arid conditions of the Khuzestan plain (Southwest Iran). The results showed that the M5 model is the best one to estimate ET 0 over test sites (0.5 mm d −1 of root mean square error (RMSE) and 0.98 of coefficient of determination (R 2 ). Conversely, the performance of the two K p equations was poor. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013
