Advanced Evapotranspiration Methods and Applications

• For estimating ETo using ANN model, a network of single hidden layer with i +1(i = number of input nodes) number of hidden nodes was found as adequate.

• ANN-based ETo estimation models performed better than the MLR models for all locations.

However, it should be noted that only climate data from different agroecological regions of India was used in this analysis and the results might be different for various climates in other countries.
