Hargreaves-Samani Formulation
Description
Implementing the Hargreaves-Samani formulation for estimating reference crop evapotranspiration.
Usage
## S3 method for class 'HargreavesSamani'
ET(data, constants, ts="daily",
message="yes", AdditionalStats="yes", save.csv="no", ...)
Arguments
data |
A list of data which contains the following items (climate variables) required by Hargreaves-Samani formulation: Tmax, Tmin (degree Celcius) |
constants |
A list named |
ts |
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. |
Details
This formulation provides a single calculation method with no alternatives available.
Value
The function generates a list containing the following components:
