| Abstract | In this study, Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) were computed from Penman, Ivanov, Papadakis, Jensen-Haise, Christiansen-Hargreaves, Turc,
Thornwaite and Blaney-Criddle formulas based on the mean monthly meteorological data for 16 synoptic surface observation stations of Meteorological
Department, Thailand from 1965 to 1975. The computed PET of each stations and regions were related to U.S. Class - A Pan Evaporation by using simple
regression analyses for wet season (April - Sept.), dry season (Oct. - March) and entire year (Jan. - Dec.). Results of regression analysis showed that
the computed PET from Penman formula almost always give highest correlation coefficient and lowest standard error of estimate. The relationship developed from Penman formula could be used for estimating PET from U.S. class - A Pan Evaporation for the area nearby the station used in this study.
For the other stations, regional correlation could be used. The relationship developed can be. obtained from Appendix C. Frequency distribution of
maximum computed PET from Penman formula for each regions were al so developed to be used in designing irrigation system at regional level. |
