pet {evapoRe}

Potential Evapotranspiration

Description

The function pet estimates PET by different methods

Usage

pet(x, method = "od")

Arguments

x

a RasterBrick object with average temperature data.

method

a character string indicating the method to be used. Available options are:

• "bc" for Blaney and Criddle (1950),

• "ha" for Hamon (1961),

• "jh" for Jensen and Haise (1963),

• "mb" for McGuinness and Bordne (1972),

• "od" for Oudin (2005). Default,

• "th" for Thornthwaite (1948).

Value

a RasterBrick object with potential evapotranspiration in [mm/day].

Examples

#Calculate PET by Oudin 
tavg <- raster::brick("terraclimate_tavg_land_19580101_20221231_025_monthly.nc")
pet_oudin <- pet(tavg, method = "od")
pet_oudin <- muldpm(pet_oudin)
