PyEt is an open source python package for calculating reference and potential evapotranspiration(ET).
In the current state, 9 methods for calculating ET are implemented:
- FAO Penman-Monteith (Monteith, 1965; FAO, 1990)
- FAO-56 Penman-Monteith (Monteith, 1965; Allen et al, 1998)
- Penman (1948)
- Hargreaves (Hargreaves and Samani, 1982; 1985)
- Hamon (1961)
- Priestley and Taylor (1972)
- Jensen and Haise (1963)
- Makkink (1957)
- Upscaled corrected Penman-Monteith by Schymanski (2017)
After defining the input data, evapotranspiration is estimated using only one line of python code:
>>> pyet.et.pm_fao56(wind, elevation, latitude, solar=solar, tmax=tmax, tmin=tmin, rh=rh)
Examples of using PyEt can be found in the examples folders.
To install PyEt, use the following syntax:
>>> pip install pyet
