Abstract
Advancements have been made in estimating potential and reference evapotranspiration. Actual crop evapotranspiration estimation still is a challenge due to limited availability of local crop coefficients and large-scale variation in field conditions. In this chapter, application and comparison of currently used potential and reference evapotranspiration estimation methods are presented. Crop coefficient availability is discussed and a general seasonal pattern of crop coefficients is presented.
