ET.PenmanMonteith {Evapotranspiration} | R Documentation |
Implementing the Penman-Monteith formulation (including the method for FAO-56 hypothetical short grass and the method for ASCE-EWRI Standardised crop) for estimating reference crop evapotranspiration
## S3 method for class 'PenmanMonteith'
ET(data, constants, ts="daily", solar="sunshine hours",
wind="yes", crop="short", message="yes", AdditionalStats="yes", save.csv="no", ...)
data |
A list which contains the following items (climate variables) required by Penman-Monteith formulation: |
constants |
A list named |
ts |
Must be either |
solar |
Must be either |
wind |
Must be either |
crop |
Must be either |
message |
Must be either |
AdditionalStats |
"yes" or "no" indicating whether monthly averaged and annual averaged ET should be calculated. |
save.csv |
Must be either |
... |
Dummy for generic function, no need to define. |
The alternative calculation options can be selected through arguments solar
and wind
, please see Arguments
for details.
User-defined evaporative surface is allowed through arguments crop
, please see Arguments
for details.
The function generates a list containing the following components:
ET.Daily |
Daily aggregated estimations of Penman-Monteith rerference crop evapotranspiration. |
ET.Monthly |
Monthly aggregated estimations of Penman-Monteith rerference crop evapotranspiration. |
ET.Annual |
Annually aggregated estimations of Penman-Monteith rerference crop evapotranspiration. |
ET.MonthlyAve |
Monthly averaged estimations of daily Penman-Monteith rerference crop evapotranspiration. |
ET.AnnualAve |
Annually averaged estimations of daily Penman-Monteith rerference crop evapotranspiration. |
ET_formulation |
Name of the formulation used which equals to either |
ET_type |
A character string containing the type of the estimation obtained which is |
message1 |
A message to inform the users about how solar radiation has been calculated by using which data. |
message2 |
A message to inform the users about if actual wind data has been used in the calculations or alternative calculations has been performed without wind data. |
