Estimation of pan evaporation (Epan) can be useful in judicious irrigation scheduling for enhancing agricultural water productivity. The aim of present study was to assess the efficacy of state-of-the-art LSTM and ANN for daily Epan estimation using meteorological data. Besides this, the effect of static time-series (Julian date) as additional input variable was investigated on performance of soft-computing techniques. For this purpose,the models were trained, tested and validated with eight meteorological variables of 37 years by using preceding 1-, 3- and 5- days’ information. Data were partitioned into three groups as training (60%), testing (20%), and validation (20%) components. It was observed that the models performed well (best) with preceding 5-days meteorological information followed by 3-days and 1-day. However, all LSTMs simulated peak value of Epan was more accurate as compared to lower values. Meteorological data with julian date improved the performance of LSTMs (0.75<NSE 1; PBias< 10; KGE 0.75). The ANN trained using only meteorological data (preceding 5-days information) had better performance error statistics among all other ANNs and LSTMs with minimum MAE (0.68 to 0.86), RMSE (0.93 to 1.22), PBias (-0.73 to 2.44) and maximum NSE (0.83 to 0.84) and KGE (0.89 to 0.92). Overall, it was inferred that the forecasting of meteorological parameters using a few days preceding information along with Julian date as the time series variables resulted in better estimation of Epan for the study region.
