ETo56_miss: Determination of ETo with missing data

In nightmares: Common Analysis with Remote Sensing Data

Description

This function is used to the estimation of monthly ETo with the FAO Penman-Montheith equation for a data set containing only maximum and minimum air temperature. Please, see the example 20 from the FAO Irrigation and drainage paper 56.

Usage

ETo56_miss(lat, z, doy, tmax, tmin, tdew, u2, Rs, P)

Arguments

lat	Latitude in decimal degrees.
z	Elevation above sea level in meters.
doy	Day of the year.
tmax	Maximum air temperature in Celsius degrees.
tmin	Minimum air temperature in Celsius degrees.
tdew	Dewpoint temperature in Celsius degrees.
u2	Wind speed at 2 m height in m s-1.
Rs	Solar radiation in MJ/sq.m/day.
P	Atmospheric pressure in kPa.

Value

Reference Evapotranspiration in mm day-1
