Service-oriented approach for modeling and estimating reference evapotranspiration

Software used for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ET"0) has been developing in various directions. The main goal of this paper is to present an approach based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm for modeling and estimating ET"0. The FAO-56 Penman-Monteith (FAO-56 PM) and Hargreaves equation are used for estimating monthly ET"0. The weather data for this study were obtained from CIMIS for Davis weather station. The FAO-56 PM and Hargreaves ET"0 values estimated using ET Web service were compared to corresponding CIMIS PM ET"0 estimates. The proposed model based on Web services implemented to the FAO-56 PM and Hargreaves equations has good performances and can be used in estimating ET"0 and has ability to complete missing weather data.
