e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture

A bibliometric study

The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.

This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

Title

Comparison of heuristic and empirical approaches for estimating reference evapotranspiration from limited inputs in Iran

en
Abstract

Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) values is of crucial importance in hydrology, agriculture and agro-meteorology issues. The present study reports a comprehensive comparison of empirical and semi empirical ET equations with the corresponding Heuristic Data Driven (HDD) models in a wide range of weather stations in Iran. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Gene Expression Programming (GEP) techniques are applied for modeling ET0 values considering different data management scenarios, and compared with corresponding Hargreaves-Samani (HS), Makkink (MK), Priestley-Taylor (PT), and Turc (T) ET0 models as well as their linear and non-linear calibrated versions along with the regression-based Copais algorithm. The obtained results confirm the superiority of GEP-based models. Further, the HDD models generally outperform the applied empirical models. Among the empirical models, the calibrated HS model found to give the most accurate results in all local and pooled scenarios, followed by the Copais and the calibrated PT models. In both local and pooled applications, the calibrated HS equation should be applied when no training data are available for the use of HDD models. The best results of the models correspond to the humid regions, while the arid regions provide the poorest estimates. This may be attributed to higher ET0 values associated with these stations and the high advective component of these locations. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
