“…Jitan (2005) studied MAK and compared it with PMFAO and he estimated for the Jordan Valley (Dair Allah station) c MAK = 0.81. Stewart et al (1999) and Watts et al (2000) developed a methodology for calculating ET 0 based on the Makkink approach using GOES data to estimate the solar radiation. Field measurement of water consumption for wheat and cotton in the Yaqui valley (Garatuza-Payan et al, 1998) showed good agreement with results obtained from Eq.…”

Abstract.First results are shown of a project aiming to estimate daily values of reference crop evapotranspiration ET 0 from geo-stationary satellite imagery. In particular, for Woreta, a site in the Ethiopian highland at an elevation of about 1800 m, we tested a radiation-temperature based approximate formula proposed by Makkink (MAK), adopting ET 0 evaluated with the version of the Penman-Monteith equation described in the FAO Irrigation and Drainage paper 56 as the most accurate estimate. More precisely we used the latter with measured daily solar radiation as input (denoted by PMFAO-Rs). Our data set for Woreta concerns a period where the surface was fully covered with short green non-stressed vegetation. Our project was carried out in the context of the Satellite Application Facility on Land Surface Analysis (LANDSAF) facility. Among others, the scope of LANDSAF is to increase benefit from the EUMETSAT Satellite Meteosat Second Generation (MSG). In this study we applied daily values of downward solar radiation at the surface obtained from the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) radiometer. In addition, air temperature at 2 m was obtained from 3-hourly forecasts provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).Both MAK and PMFAO-Rs contain the psychrometric "constant", which is proportional to air pressure, which, in turn, decreases with elevation. In order to test elevation effects we tested MAK and its LANDSAF input data for 2 sites in the Jordan Valley located about 250 m b.s.l.Correspondence to: H. A. R. de Bruin (hardb@xs4all.nl) Except for a small underestimation of air temperature at the Ethiopian site at 1800 m, the first results of our LANDSAF-ET 0 project are promising. If our approach to derive ET 0 proves successfully, then the LANDSAF will be able to initiate nearly real time free distribution of ET 0 for the full MSG disk.

“…A widely methodology used in obtaining information solar radiation was developed by Stewart et al [25], who estimated solar radiation from visible band data obtained by the GOES satellite over northwestern Mexico; the results obtained allow comparisons against ground measurements showing positive correlation, especially in the months of low cloud cover. In the present study, satellite imagery is the primary tool used.…”

Energy development plans involving the use of solar energy are very beneficial from an environmental perspective. Its impacts are specific to geographic location; taking advantage of the solar energy potential basically depends on reliable estimates of the climatological amount of solar radiation received at the surface, which is a complex function of meteorological and environmental factors. Obtaining solar radiation data is essential for local development, to characterize them, there are several cutting-edge methods and technologies. One of them is the use of satellite images with high resolution. The aim of this paper is to assess the climatological aspects of incoming solar radiation in clear sky conditions in the State of Jalisco, Mexico and Guadalajara Metropolitan Zone. The results are intended to stimulate the use of solar radiation as an alternative energy source in an area where heavily relying on fossil fuel combustion.

“…Estimation of potential evapotranspiration can be achieved also based on satellite measurements related to air humidity and wind characteristics, but only in case of highresolution satellite images (Irmak, 2009). In the estimation of PET remote sensing methods are applied (Chaudhury, 1997;Granger, 1997;Stefano & Ferro, 1997;Caselles et al, 1998;Stewarta et al, 1999). These methods are based using geographic information system using GIS spatial modeling (Baxter et al, 1996;Srinivasan et al 1996;Moore, 1996;Cleugh et al, 2007, Tang et al, 2010.…”
