Abstract

Evaporation is dominant component of the hydrological cycle and it has vital impact on soil moisture, surface water resources and ground water resources. So accurately evaporation modeling could be useful in management of water resources. In this study the classic Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and its novel version, Emotional ANN (EANN) were applied for modeling evaporation in monthly scale in multiple stations with different climatological conditions. The stations were selected from Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Libya. Mean temperature, relative humidity and solar radiation were applied as inputs of modeling via the ANN and EANN. The obtained results of this study indicated that ANN and EANN showed different performance in various type of climates. EANN could properly be applied in modeling evaporation in semi-arid climates but ANN led to suitable performance in arid climates. In addition, results showed that EANN could perform better in modeling non-linear processes due to concluding the emotional units.
