A Semiempirical Method to Estimate Actual Evapotranspiration in Mediterranean Environments

Figure 1

Scheme of the method applied to identify the relationship between SWC and RETA in each study site; SWC0 coincides with the measured 0, and SWCmin, SWCfc, and SWCs are readily derivable from the SWC annual evolution, while SWCwp is estimated by optimizing the site soil water balance as described in the text.
