| The study was designed to re-examine and modify the Blaney-Morin-Nigeria (BMN) evapotranspiration (ET) model which was developed for Asaba and Uyo in South-south of Nigeria. This was achieved using a non-linear iterative technique based on Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, making use of climatic variables. The newly developed model constants were H = 288.0, m = 0.96; H = 285.8, m = 0.91 and H = 287.0, m = 1.00 for South-south Nigeria, Asaba and Uyo respectively compared to the H = 520.0, m = 1.31 for the original BMN ET model. Data were analysed using different statistical models. The three newly developed BMN models when compared with FAO-56 PM model which was used as standard gave a more satisfactory RET estimates than the original BMN ET model when... |
