Temporal Variation of ETo in Recent 50 Years in Hilly Area of Central Sichuan

Article Preview

Abstract:

Monthly potential evapotranspiration (ET0) from 1957 to 2010 is estimated with Penman-Monteith method in four stations in hilly area of central Sichuan, China. Results show that ET0 has a decrease, temperature has a significant increase, relative humidity has a significant decrement, sunshine duration and wind speed have very significantly downward trends. Climate tends to warming and drying in recent 50 years.
