Abstract

© 2018 American Society of Civil Engineers. Estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) using air temperature is particularly attractive for places where solar radiation, wind speed, and air humidity data are not readily available. In this study, seven temperature-based (TET) models and the standardized reference evapotranspiration equation for short canopies method were compared. Using only temperature data from the Yucatán Peninsula, México, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)-Penman-Monteith (PMT) model was used to estimate ETo. Results from the temperature-based models are compared with FAO-56 daily ETo calculations using the Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE), the coefficient of determination (R2), mean absolute bias error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square (RMSE). The results show that the noncalibrated PMT expression using temperatures alone produced the best results, with RMSE = 0.7 mmd-1. The Hargreaves-Samani calibrated (RMSE = 0.74 mm · d-1) and Camargo calibrated (RMSE = 0.78) models exhibited the next best performance. RMSE values were as high as 1.56 mm · d-1 for the other models.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal JOURNAL OF HYDROLOGIC ENGINEERING due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency Scopus (SJR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2019, it was in position , thus managing to position itself as a Q2 (Segundo Cuartil), in the category Civil and Structural Engineering. Notably, the journal is positioned en el Cuartil Q3 for the agency WoS (JCR) in the category Engineering, Civil.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 1.11. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 13, 2025)
