Probability Distribution Functions of Weekly Reference Crop Evapotranspiration for Solapur District of Maharashtra
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The study was carried out to estimate a reference crop evapotranspiration (ETr) at different probability level for Solapur (North latitude 17°10" to 18°32" and East longitude 74°42" to 76°15") at 483.5 msl in the semi-arid zone of Maharashtra. Weekly reference evapotranspiration (ETr) values for the period (1977-2007) were computed by best method Penman-Monteith FAO-56. The probability distributions that were fitted to ETr values are log normal, Gumbel and Weibulls probability distribution functions. Chi-square test was perform to know the probability distribution of best fit. ETr values at 10 per cent to 90 per cent probability level for Penman-Monteith method using probability distribution of best fit.
