net.simplace.client.simulation.lap.fao56.evapotran.ReferenceETPMHourly

Calculates reference evapotranspiration ET0 by Penman-Monteith with the FAO56 approach.

FAO Penman-Monteith equation determines the evapotranspiration from the hypothetical grass reference surface. (FAO 56)

Uses daily max/min temperature, actual vapour pressure, net radiation and wind speed. Checks for valid actual vapour pressure values.

For documentation of the formulas please check the orginal reference (FAO 56)
