Resumen

FORNACIARI, Gabriel et al. Calibration of alternative equations to estimate the reference évapotranspiration in Nova Venécia, Espírito Santo, Brazil. Agron. colomb. [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.2, pp.1-.  Epub 09-Mayo-2024. ISSN 0120-9965.  https://doi.org/10.15446/agron.colomb.v41n2.108664.

The estimation of the reference évapotranspiration is fundamental in defining irrigation projects. However, an estimation using the standard equation requires climate variables that are difficult to measure and are not very accessible. Thus, the objective of this study was to calibrate and validate alternative methods to estimate evapotranspiration that use simple variables and to compare performance with the standard Penman-Monteith method for the municipality of Nova Venécia, Espírito Santo, Brazil. For this, a 12-year time series (2008-2019) of meteorological data from the Instituto Nacional de Meteorología was used. The standard FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method was used to evaluate alternative methods: Hargreaves and Samani, Benevides and Lopes, Linacre, Hamon and Camargo. Method performance was analyzed by correlation coefficient, Willmott index, root mean square of normalized error, and performance index. Calibration improved the statistical indices, increasing the performance of the Hargreaves and Samani, Benevides and Lopes, and Linacre methods to "very good" in the rainy season and to "intermediate" in the dry season. They were superior to the Hamon and Camargo methods, which continued to show "tolerable" to "very poor" performance in both periods.

Palabras clave : alternative methods; agricultural meteorology; FAO-56 Penman-Monteith; irrigation.
