Potential Evapotranspiration models

Description

  • ET0_eq : Equilibrium evaporation, slope / (slope + gamma) * Rn

  • ET0_Penman48 : Penman 1948 equation simplified by Shuttleworth 1993

  • ET0_Monteith65: Penman-Monteith 1965

  • ET0_PT72 : Priestley Taylor 1972, ET0_PT72 = ET0_eq * 1.26

  • ET0_FAO98 : Penman-Monteith reference crop evapotranspiration, FAO56

Usage

ET0_eq(Rn, Tair, Pa = atm, ...)

ET0_Penman48(Rn, Tair, Pa = atm, D, wind, z.wind = 2)

ET0_Monteith65(
  Rn,
  Tair,
  Pa = atm,
  D,
  wind,
  z.wind = 2,
  rs = 70,
  rH = NULL,
  ...
)

ET0_PT72(Rn, Tair, Pa = atm, alpha = 1.26, ...)

ET0_FAO98(Rn, Tair, Pa = atm, D, wind, z.wind = 2, tall_crop = FALSE)

Arguments

Rn

land surface net radiation, W m-2

Tair

2m air temperature (degC)

Pa

surface air pressure (kPa)

D

vapor pressure deficit (kPa)

wind

wind speed at the height of z.wind

z.wind

Height where measure the wind speed ⁠[m]⁠. Default 2m.

alpha

albedo ⁠[0-1]⁠

tall_crop

tall crop or not, see FAO1998 for details

Value

  • lambda: Latent heat of vaporization, about ⁠[2.5 MJ kg-1]⁠.

  • slope : The slope of the saturation vapour pressure curve at certain air temperature Tair, ⁠[kPa degC-1]⁠.

  • gamma : Psychrometric constant (⁠[kPa degC-1]⁠), Cp*Pa/(epsilon*lambda)

  • Eeq : Equilibrium (radiative) evaporation, mm

  • Evp : Aerodynamic evaporation, mm

  • ET0 : Potential evapotranspiration, mm
