Abstract:
      In eastern part of Inner Mongolia, the land resource is rich, but fewer meteorological station and lack of related meteorological data, so application of FAO56 Penman-Monteith method to calculate ET0 in most areas is rather difficult. This paper according to the 40 a (1974—2013) meteorological data from typical meteorological station (Tongliao) in eastern part of Inner Mongolia, taking FAO56 Penman-Monteith formula as the standard and FAO-17 Penman method, Priestley-Taylor method, Hargreaves-Samani method, Irmark-Allen fitting method as control, calculated the ET0 respectively. At the same time, carried out the relativity analysis with the FAO56 Penman-Monteith method. The results showed that: The calculation results by Priestley-Taylor method and Hargreaves-Samani method were obviously higher than the FAO56 Penman-Monteith method, so these two methods were not suitable to use in eastern part of Inner Mongolia. The correlation was the best by FAO-17 Penman method, but the relative error in April to September was rather big. The calculation result by Irmark-Allen fitting method was the most close to the FAO56 Penman-Monteith method (relative error<19%,correlation coefficient R2>0.92), which needs less meteorological data and simple calculation. Therefore, the Irmark-Allen fitting method is more suitable to calculate the ET0 in eastern part of Inner Mongolia which is lack meteorological data.
