The study was conducted to know the appropriate probability distribution for weekly reference crop evapotranspiration (ETr) values at desired probability levels for Solapur, Ahmednagar, Pune and Nasik stations of Maharashtra, India....

The study was carried out for stochastic modeling of reference crop evapotranspiration values estimated by Penman-Monteith method from daily records of climatic parameters. Seasonal ARIMA modeling was performed for the generation and forecasting of weekly ETr values. The steps viz....
