Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of evapotranspiration estimation technology, and relates to an evapotranspiration estimation method and system based on a physical-data hybrid enhancement HS model. Background Technology

[0002] Reference Evaporation Accurate estimation of water resources is a crucial foundation for hydrological and ecological research and water resource allocation and management. The HS model, a classic temperature radiation model, is widely used due to its low parameter requirements and ease of calculation. However, traditional HS models and their existing improvements reveal several key technical shortcomings under complex high-altitude and cold climates and underlying surface conditions.

[0003] Existing improvements to the HS model can be broadly categorized into two types. The first type is the traditional statistical optimization method, which uses linear or nonlinear regression to locally calibrate the model's core parameters. This type of method has significant limitations: firstly, it only fits parameters for a single region, making it difficult to adapt to spatial heterogeneity across climate zones; secondly, it uses single-factor or simple multi-factor regression, failing to effectively capture the complex nonlinear coupling effects between multiple driving factors; and finally, the parameter optimization process lacks physical constraints, potentially leading to optimization results that contradict the physical laws of evapotranspiration, resulting in poor model interpretability.

[0004] The second category is pure machine learning (ML) optimization methods, which use the HS model estimates as input features and combine them with other meteorological and remote sensing data to construct an ML model. While this type of method can improve estimation accuracy, it has three major drawbacks: First, the model lacks physical meaning, and the output relies entirely on data fitting, failing to explain the energy balance of evapotranspiration and the water transport mechanism, easily leading to black-box prediction bias; second, the problem of systematic underestimation or overestimation is prominent, and due to the lack of physical constraints, the generalization ability drops sharply under extreme climate conditions outside the data distribution; third, the feature selection process is highly blind, failing to incorporate physical mechanisms, resulting in high model redundancy and low training efficiency.

[0005] Besides inherent methodological flaws, existing evapotranspiration estimation systems also suffer from numerous shortcomings. The data acquisition module is functionally limited, typically supporting only data input from conventional meteorological stations and failing to effectively accommodate multi-source data such as remote sensing products and reanalysis datasets, resulting in insufficient data coverage. Internal module coupling is too high; feature processing, parameter optimization, and model calculation are not decoupled, posing significant challenges to subsequent maintenance and functional expansion. Systems generally lack physical constraint verification modules, failing to verify the physical rationality of output results in real time, easily leading to outliers that do not conform to energy balance laws. System adaptability is poor; the lack of adaptive parameter configuration modules for different climatic regions results in a significant drop in accuracy when applied across regions. System visualization and output capabilities are weak, failing to intuitively display the model operation process, parameter optimization process, and the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of estimation results, hindering the analysis and application of the results.

[0006] In addition, existing technologies are insufficient in characterizing key temporal dynamic processes such as seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and vegetation growth cycles, and exhibit significant response lag.

[0007] In summary, existing technologies are suitable for high-altitude, cold, and complex regions. ET In 0-dimensional estimation, core challenges include the lack of physical meaning, insufficient adaptation to spatial heterogeneity, and poor generalization ability under extreme conditions. Existing systems also suffer from systemic bottlenecks such as high module coupling, poor data compatibility, and insufficient adaptability. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for an improved HS model method and supporting system that can balance the rationality of physical mechanisms, estimation accuracy, and spatial adaptability to solve the aforementioned key technical problems.

A physical constraint penalty term is introduced to construct the objective function to ensure that the parameter optimization conforms to the physical mechanism of evapotranspiration.
