A methodological study on local application of the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith reference evapotranspiration equation
Keywords:
actual evapotranspiration, reference evapotranspiration, crop coefficientAbstract
In our study we discuss the theory and application of the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith equation to count reference evapotranspiration (ET0). Establishing ET0 derived from meteorological variables, together with crop coefficient (Kc), the actual ET could be estimated easily for a desired time-period (from hours to seasons). Daily evapotranspiration of common reed (Pragmites australis) was measured in evapotranspirometers. The measured ET was used to calculate Kc locally. Our study confirmed the earlier investigations that reed stand transpired more water than open water bodies in hot season.
