Further information

Calculate a daily value of reference evapotranspiration, useful for vegetation (incl. crop) models. The module code is based on FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method. The implementation is based on several sources (see moduleReferences), but particularly useful was the Evapotranspiration R package (Guo et al. 2016, 2022 (v1.16)). Note: values of C_n and C_d are fixed for using the grass cover reference (900 and 0.34); values for the alfalfa reference are 1600 and 0.38.
