Abstract

The Turc method is one of the simplest and most accurate empirical equations used for ETO estimation. The objectives of this study are: first, to investigate the effect of wind speed on accuracy of Turc method; second, to develop the wind speed adjustment factors for the Turc method. The adjusted Turc method provides the quite good agreement with the evapotranspiration obtained by the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method. It gave reliable estimation at all the locations and it has proven to be the most adjustable to the local climatic conditions. These results recommend the adjusted Turc method for estimating reference evapotranspiration.Turc metoda je jedna od najjednostavnijih i najpouzdanijih metoda proracuna referentne evapotranspiracije. Ciljevi ovog rada su analiza uticaja brzine vetra na pouzdanost Turc metode i razvoj novog korekcionog koeficijent zasnovanog na brzini vetra koji bi se koristio u izmenjenoj Turc metodi. Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da izmenjena Turc metoda obezbedjuje sasvim dobro slaganje sa vrednostima referentne evapotranspiracije dobijene primenom FAO-56 Penman-Monteith metode. Izmenjena Turc metoda daje pouzdani proracun na svim lokacijama i pokazala se kao najprilagodljivija lokalnim klimatskim uslovima. Ovi rezultati snazno preporucuju koriscenje izmenjene Turc metode za proracun referentne evapotranspiracije.
