ABSTRACT

Evapotranspiration is an important factor for Earth energy balance which transports vapor into atmosphere in the form of latent heat using net radiation energy. Measuring the evapotranspiration is actually limited to a point, so the modeling on a spatially continuous grid has been conducted for a long time using meteorological and satellite data. In addition to the PM (Penman-Monteith) equation-based METRIC (Mapping Evapotranspiration with Internalized Calibration) model and the PT (Priestley-Taylor) equation-based MS-PT (Modified Satellite-based Priestley-Taylor) model, the DNN (deep neural network) as an emerging technique can be a viable option. We conducted a DNN modeling of evapotranspiration through optimization for hidden layer structure, loss function, optimizer, active function, L1/L2 regularization, and dropout ratio. The result showed a quite favorable accuracy with the RMSE of 0.326 mm/day and the correlation coefficient of 0.975. This is because we used optimal input variables associated with the mechanism of evapotranspiration from numerical weather prediction model and satellite data, in addition to the DNN optimization. However, a more delicate modeling by increasing the volume and kind of training dataset will be necessary for future work.
