Abstract
En 中文
• ETref is a defined physical calculation, not an observable flux to be used as a learnable target. • Use of AI/ML to estimate ETref undermines standardization, transferability, and error attribution. • Reduced-input AI/ML weakens the case for maintaining quality weather networks. • AI/ML adds value in ET science when supporting, not replacing, the ETref equation.
