Abstract Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is a major task in hydrology, water resources management, irrigation scheduling and determining crop water requirement. There are many empirical equations suggested by numerous references in literature for calculating ETo using meteorological data. Some such equations have been developed for specific climatic conditions while some have been applied universally. The potential for usage of these equations depends on the availability of necessary meteorological parameters for calculating ETo in different climate conditions. The focus of the present study was a global cross-comparison of 20 ETo estimation equations using daily meteorological records of 10 weather stations (covering a period of 12 years) in a semi-arid region of Iran. Two data management scenarios, namely local and cross-station scenarios, were adopted for calibrating the applied equations against the standard FAO56-PM model. The obtained results revealed that the cross-station calibration might be a good alternative for local calibration of the ETo models when proper similar stations are used for feeding the calibration matrix.

Soldado Passarinho, nº 303, Fazenda Jardim Chapadão CEP: 13070-115 - Campinas - SP, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]  1 Resumo Os algoritmos SAFER e o SUREAL foram usados com produtos MODIS na determinação da evapotranspiração atual (ET), sendo usada com dados de precipitação (P) e evapotranspiração de referência (ET0) para aplicação dos índices IH (P/ET) e ETr (ET/ET0), nas análises do balanço hídrico durante o ano de 2015, em áreas irrigadas da região de desenvolvimento agrícola Petrolina/Juazeiro, Nordeste do Brasil. Tanto para Petrolina como para Juazeiro, as maiores taxas da ET, chegando acima de 4,5 mm dia-1, ocorreram em fevereiro, devido ao suprimento hídrico conjunto das águas das chuvas e de irrigação para as plantas. Os valores mais baixos em novembro (ET < 2,2 mm dia-1) coincidiram com o final de ciclo generalizado das culturas agrícolas. Apesar de P na escala anual ter sido maior em Petrolina (230 mm) em 10% quando comparado com Juazeiro, a menor demanda atmosférica do segundo município resultou em um IH ligeiramente superior. Entretanto, as condições de umidade no solo em Petrolina (ETr = 0,70) foram melhores que às de Juazeiro (ETr = 0,61). Os resultados confirmam o potencial dos algoritmos para o monitoramento das condições hídricas das culturas irrigadas no semiárido brasileiro. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Evapotranspiração, umidade de solo, irrigação.  TEIXEIRA, A.

M.WATER INDICES FOR IRRIGATED AREAS IN THE PETROLINA/JUAZEIRO AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT REGION   2 ABSTRACT The SAFER and SUREAL algorithms were applied along with MODIS products for determining the actual evapotranspiration (ET), and then used together with precipitation (P) and reference evapotranspiration (ET0) data for application of the WI (P/ET) and ETr (ET/ET0) indices, for water balance analyses during the year 2015, in the irrigated areas of Petrolina/Juazeiro agriculture development region. Both for Petrolina and Juazeiro, the highest ET rates, reaching to above 4.5 mm d-1, took place in February, due to the joint water supply from rainfall and irrigation systems. The lowest indices were observed in November (ET < 2.2 mm d-1), coinciding with the end of the generalized irrigated crop growing cycles. Although P at the annual measurement being 10% higher in Petrolina (230 mm), when compared to Juazeiro, the lower atmospheric demand in the second municipality resulted in an WI slightly higher. However, the soil moisture conditions in Petrolina (ETr = 0.70) were better than those present in Juazeiro (ETr = 0.61). These results state the potential of the algorithms for monitoring the irrigated crops water conditions in the Brazilian semi-arid region. Keywords: Evapotranspiration, soil moisture, irrigation.
