Abstract

Micrometeorology monitoring has been used in reservoirs for latent heat flux measurements by eddy covariance. It is hard to establish long and continuous measurement datasets due to the complexity involved in this monitoring. When fails occur there is necessary a gap filling procedure to keep the continuity of the series. This filling could be performed through statistical techniques and use of model results. In this work we assessed the performance of a backpropagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Model to estimatives of latent heat fluxes at Furnas Lake – MG to fill the gaps in 50 days measurement dataset. The ANN was applied using various sets of input parameters, layer structures and trainning time. The performance of ANN estimatives were compared of a classic mass transfer model. The index of agreement are used to evaluate the performance of the models. The ANN Model index of agreement equal to 0.93536 showing better results than transfer model with 0.89681. The results showed that the ANN could be used with great performance to estimate latent heat flux and gap filling.

The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
