Mendonça, Elias F. de Sousa, Salassier Bernardo, Márcio T. Sugawara, Anderson L. Peçanha, Romildo D. Gottardo

“…<br>The evapotranspiration of a crop is one of the main information required for proper irrigation management and to develop an efficient water usage plan. Among the methods to estimate the amount of water that is consumed by plants, the use of crop coefficients (Kc), associated with estimates of the reference evapotranspiration (ETo), stands as one of the most promising. …”

Methods for predicting water temperature in data-scarce areas under different climate regions of China by Jiaqi Zhang, Jun Ma, Yaqian Xu, Defu Liu, Zhangpeng Wang, Zeyi Tao, Hao Wei, Ran Xiao

“…The Air2stream model was used for water temperature prediction, and the model prediction accuracies were compared. (1) Water temperature changes are mainly controlled by air temperature, and (2) the averaged root mean square error (RMSE) of water temperatures predicted by the linear regression equation and Air2stream model were 1.79 °C and 1.40 °C, respectively. The averaged determination coefficients (R2) for the Air2stream model under the plateau alpine and subtropical monsoon climate types were 0.97 and 0.95, respectively. (3) The prediction accuracy of the Air2stream model exceeded that of the linear regression equation. …”
