Tang et al.²⁹

Ts-VI triangle method

Quantify sensible heat flux

Helps to estimate regional surface ET accurately

2

Ding et al.³⁰

Modified Priestley-Taylor

ET estimation over irrigated maize field

A good agreement was found between ET estimated by the model with observations

3

Qiu et al.³¹

Modified Priestley-Taylor

ET estimation in a rice–wheat rotation system

The model estimates ET for rice and winter wheat reasonably

4

Nikolaou et al.³²

Modified Priestley-Taylor

Calibration of Priestley-Taylor (α) coefficient in Mediterranean greenhouse cucumbers

The proposed modified potential evapotranspiration model can be used as a practical method for irrigation scheduling

5

Ai and Yang³³

Priestley-Taylor Model

Estimating Cotton Evapotranspiration under Plastic Mulch Condition

The estimated values agreed well with the measured values

6

Venturini et al.³⁴

Modified Priestley-Taylor

Comparison among different modified Priestley and Taylor equations

Both atmospheric and surface variables should be jointly parameterized in order to obtain estimates with lower errors

7

Aschonitis et al.³⁵

Priestley-Taylor method

To test the Priestley-Taylor method for the assessment of reference ET

The surface coverage of the Italian territory,

with acceptable ± 10% difference

8

García et al.³⁶

PT-JPL method

Improving regional estimates of actual evapotranspiration (λΕ) in water-limited regions

Both in-situ and satellite data produced satisfactory results for λΕ at the Sahelian savanna

9

Sumner and Jacobs³⁷

Penman–Monteith and MPT

Estimating pasture evapotranspiration using different methods

The PM method was slightly less effective than the PT method

10

Yao et al.³⁸

Modified Priestley-Taylor

MPT algorithm is used to estimate ET then validated

MPT algorithm is satisfactory in reproducing the inter-annual variability at flux tower sites
