Abstract:This research aimed to identify an alternative method to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ETo) with scarce climatological information in southwestern Colombia between 1983-2017 by evaluating and comparing different machine learning techniques. The FAO Penman-Monteith (FAO-PM56) was used as the reference method and four empirical methods (Hargreaves, Thornthwaite, Cenicafé, and Turc) were assessed with five metrics to evaluate the method of best fit to FAO-PM56, root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolut… Show more
