Effective temperature

Description

Calculation of the “effective temperature” for improving the Thornthwaite's ET0 estimation method

Usage

effectiveTempGrid(tasmin = NULL, tasmax = NULL, k = 0.69)

Arguments

tasmin

Grid of minimum monthly temperature (degC)

tasmax

Grid of maximum monthly temperature (degC)

k

Calibration coefficient. Default to 0.69, as proposed by Pereira and Pruitt (2004)

Details

The function is internally used by petGrid when the Thornthwaite's method with calibration coefficient k is chosen.
