Daily potential evapotranspiration based on the Hargreaves equation
A handy little R function for computing Hargreaves potential evapotranspiration at the daily scale. # Compute Hagreaves daily pot. evapotranspiration, based on: # tmin: a vector of minimum daily temperatures (ºC) # tmax: a vector of maximum daily temperatures (ºC) # times: a vector of dates corresponding to the temperature observations (POSIXlt) # lat: latitude of the […]
