Simulating reference crop evapotranspiration with different climate data inputs using Gaussian exponential model.

Obtaining accurate data on reference crop evapotranspiration (ET) is important for agricultural water management. A novel Gaussian exponential model (GEM) was developed in this study to predict ET with limited climatic data. The GEM was further compared with the M5 model tree (M5T), extreme learning machine (ELM), and boosted trees (BT) model under local and regional scenarios. Daily meteorologica...
