ETo_Hrg: Hargreaves Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) Equation

Description

ETo_Hrg returns the value of the evapotranspiration rate from the reference surface.

Usage

ETo_Hrg(T_min, T_max, R_a)

Value

The function returns the value of evapotranspiration rate from the reference surface calculated by Hargreaves equation [mm/day] as a numeric scalar.

Arguments

T_min

Optional. A numeric scalar that denotes the daily minimum temperature [C].

T_max

Optional. A numeric scalar that denotes the daily maximum temperature [C].

R_a

A numeric scalar denotes the extraterrestrial radiation [\(MJ/(m^2\times day)\)].

Details

This is a function to calculate the evapotranspiration rate from the reference surface (ETo) by using Hargreaves equation.
