It is difficult to calculate ET0 by FA056 PM by the shortage of meteorological data in Tibetan pasturing area. A simple?accurate and less of meteorological data formula is very important to calculate water demand of crop in Tibet. In this paper?FAO17 Penman formula?Priestley-Taylor formula?Hargreaves-Samani formula, Irmark-Allen(I-A) fitting formula were used to calculate the ET0 in three typical meteorological stations?Dangxiong county?Gaize county?Naqu county? in Tibetan pasturing area from 1983-2012. At the same time, taking FAO56 PM formula as the standard method. The results show that? (1) The calculation results of FAO17 PM?PT formula?HS formula, I-A fitting formula are higher than the value calculated by FAO56 PM formula because of the intense radiation, great difference in temperature and strong wind on highaltitudelocalities; (2) The calculation results by I-A fitting formula was the most closest to FAO56 PM formula and the error was relatively small(relative error?20%?coefficient of determination?0.94); (3) Because of less of meteorological data and relative accuracy, I-A fitting formula can be considered to instead of the FAO56 PM formula to calculate the ET0 in Tibetan pasturing area where the meteorological data is lack.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
