DESCRIPTION

i.evapo.pt Calculates the diurnal evapotranspiration after Prestley and Taylor (1972). The Priestley-Taylor model (Priestley and Taylor, 1972) is a modification of Penman’s more theoretical equation.

NOTES

RNETD optional output from i.evapo.potrad is giving good results as input for net radiation in this module.
