Sensitivity Analyses of the Meteorological Factors in the Estimation of Evapotranspiration Rates

Abstract

Meteorological and flux data measured from semiarid watersheds during the ssummer rainy and winter were used to study the sensitivity of the those variables used in the estimation of evapotranspiration rates. Relative sensitivity was examined to compare the importance of four meteorological and flux variables on Penman potential evapotranspiration estimation.
