♦ DESCRIPTION ♦
The program ONLINE_PRIESTLEY_TAYLOR
calculates potential evapotranspiration (PET) by the Priestley-Taylor method.
-
The input is:
(a) the chosen month,
(b) air temperature Ta (oC), and
(c) net radiation Qn (cal cm-2 d-1).
- The output is: (a) daily PET (cm d-1), and (b) monthly PET (cm).
- Potential evapotranspiration (PET) is a function of:
(a) net radiation Qn,
(b) Penman's ratio α,
(c) mass density of water ρ, and
(d) heat of vaporization λ.
- Input allowable ranges: (a) air temperature, 0-40 oC; (b) net radiation, 100-1000 cal cm2 d-1.
Input data outside of these ranges will trigger error messages and stop execution.
