The FAO Penman-Monteith (FAO-56 PM) model is proposed as a standard model to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ETO) in various climates. Different models are used to estimate the total solar radiation (Rs) as one of the essential inputs of this model. This study aimed to calibrate and validate four Rs estimation models (Ångström-Prescott, Hargreaves-Samani, Mubiru et al., and Chen and Li) in Ahvaz (with arid climate) and Hamedan (with semi-arid climate) stations during the 1992-2020 climate period and the effect of these models on the ETO estimation. The coefficients of these models were calibrated by the intelligent shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA). To evaluate the efficiency of these models, the estimated Rs values were compared with measured values. Based on the root mean square error (RMSE), the coefficient of determination (R2) statistics and Nash-Sutcliffe, the A-P model with RMSE=1.929, R2=0.918, NS=0.896 and Mobiro et al. model with RMSE=2.925, R2=0.875, NS=0.860 showed better performance than the other models in Ahvaz and Hamedan stations, respectively. A decrease of about 20% was observed in the percentage of ETO difference between, the calculated and the estimated Rs compared to the measured Rs in 2 stations at all of the models.
