Convert evapotranspiration to mm

Description

Converts evapotranspiration (ET) measurements given in energy units (here W m-2) to mass units (here mm water, corresponding to kg m-2). Adopted from SPLASH (Davis et al., 2017 GMD).

Usage

convert_et(et_e, tc, elv = 0, return_df = FALSE)

Arguments

et_e	A numeric value or vector specifying vapotranspiration in energy units (W m-2)
tc	A numeric value or vector specifying temperature in degrees Celsius
elv	A numeric value or vector specifying elevation above sea level (m). Defaults to 0.
return_df	A logical specifying whether a data frame (single column for ET) should be returned.

Value

A numeric value or vector, or, if return_df = TRUE, a data frame (tibble) with ET values in mass units (mm).
