net.simplace.sim.components.experimental.fao56.CropEvapoTranspirationDualCoeffHourly

Calculates the basal crop coefficient and the soil evaporation coefficient, as well as potential crop transpiration and potential soil evaporation using formulas from (FAO 56).

For calculations following daily inputs are needed

ReferenceCropEvapotranspiration - reference crop evapotranspiration
LAI leaf area index
DVS development stage of the plant
K_r evaporation reduction factor due to depletion of the upper soil layer
K_s transpiration reduction factor due to water stress

When K_r is not available, then a value of 1 is used. In this case one might use the outputs KeUpper, PotentialSoilEvaporationUpper and ETCUpper instead of Ke, PotentialSoilEvaporation and ETC. (??? - if no K_r given, what should be used: Ke with K_r=1 or KeUpper?)

If development stage is less than 0.001, then Kcb is set to the initial value KcbIni. Otherwise Kcb is set to KcbMidLAI, which is calculated according to (FAO 56). (??? - is there any reference for this proceeding)

K_s reduces PotentialTranspiration and ETC, giving the adjusted outputs ActualTranspiration and ETC_adj.

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