Elixir package for calculating reference/potential evapotranspiration (ETo), also referred to as potential evapotranspiration (PET), using the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method. This is ported from the Ruby evapotranspiration gem which is based on the PyETo Python package from Mark Richards. The package provides numerous methods for estimating missing meteorological data.
Three methods for estimating ETo/PET are implemented:
- FAO-56 Penman-Monteith (Allen et al, 1998)
- Hargreaves (Hargreaves and Samani, 1982; 1985)
- Thornthwaite (Thornthwaite, 1948)
The package can be installed by adding ex_eto to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
def deps do
[
{:ex_eto, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
end
