Abstract:
      Based on the meteorological data from 1951 to 2013 corresponding to 50 sites throughout the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, this study made a detailed statistical analysis of the 33 ET0 models available in the literature. Ten statistical indicators were used to assess the performance of the models. And a global performance indicator (GPI) was introduced to rank the models. The results showed that in hyper\|arid and arid areas, the GPI was shown in mass transfer\|based (MTB), temperature\|based (TB), and simplified FAO-56 PM (SPM) models being close to 1, which reflects the good simulation effect, while radiation\|based (RB) model were amongst the worst performers. In the dry sub\|humid and moist sub\|humid areas, a better GPI was shown in SPM and RB models were higher and the simulation effect were better. For example, the GPI of M1 (RB) being 1.0 in the moist sub\|humid area. Considering the convenience of models, Temperature\|based (TB) models are the most suitable models in the relatively arid areas, while RB models are more accurate in relatively humid areas.
