Abstract Evapotranspiration, one of the major elements of the water cycle, is sensitive to climate change. The main objective of this study was to examine the response of reference evapotranspiration (ET 0 ) under various climate change scenarios using artificial neural networks and a general circulation model (GCM) - the Canadian Earth System Model Second Generation (CanESM2). The Hargreaves method was used to calculate ET 0 for western, central, and eastern parts of Prince Edward Island. The two input parameters of the Hargreaves method; daily maximum temperature (Tmax), and daily minimum temperature (Tmin) were projected using CanESM2. The Tmax and Tmin were downscaled with the help of statistical downscaling and simulation model (SDSM) for three future periods 2020s (2011–2040), 2050s (2041–2070), and 2080s (2071–2100) under three representative concentration pathways (RCP’s) including RCP 2.6, RCP P4.5, and RCP 8.5, and the. Temporally, there were major changes in Tmax, Tmin, and ET 0 for the 2080s under RCP8.5. The temporal variations in ET 0 for all RCPs matched the reports in the literature for other similar locations and for RCP8.5 it ranged from 1.63 (2020s) to 2.29 mm/day (2080s). As a next step, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), long-short term memory (LSTM), and multilayer perceptron (MLP) were used for estimating ET 0 due to the non-linear behavior of ET 0 and the limited meteorological input data. High coefficient of correlation (r > 0.95) values for both calibration and validation periods showed the potential of the artificial neural networks in ET 0 estimation. The results of this study will help decision makers and water resource managers to quantify the availability of water in future for the island and to optimize the use of island water resources on a sustainable basis.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
