Determining the Relationship of Evapotranspiration with Precipitation and Temperature Over Turkey

Abstract

Evapotranspiration (ET), which is a combination of the words evaporation and transpiration, is expressed as the sum of water due to water consumption and evaporation in plants. In this study, the NASADrought Early Warning Systems Network Land Data Assimilation System model (FLDAS NOAH) was used to determine evapotranspiration data for the 2018-2019 water years (October 2017-September 2019) on Turkey. In addition, NASA Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS NOAH) was used for temperature data. Total precipitation data with corrected error rates are taken from MERRA-2 Model M2TMNXFLX. The relationship between the determined monthly total average evapotranspiration values and the monthly average precipitation and monthly average temperature values was determined by ArcGIS. It is important to examine the local evaporation and transpiration conditions in more detail in the regions where water resources planning will be made. The importance of water holding capacity in plants in determining agricultural and hydrological drought can be explained by evapotranspiration.
