Modeling reference evapotranspiration in island environments: Assessing the practical implications

Among the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) equations, temperature-based and radiation-based equations have been accepted as promising approaches when the available meteorological data are limited. The present paper aimed at assessing this general implication in island environments, which might be generally volatile than the interior/coastal zones. Using data from five island locations of Iran, daily ETo values were calculated by the benchmark...
