Reference and Potential Evapotranspiration
Evapotranspiration can be computed as reference, potential, or actual evapotranspiration. Reference evapotranspiration is that from a grass surface that is well-watered. Potential evapotranspiration is that from a surface that has unlimited water (such as a lake).
Reference and potential evapotranspiration are computed at a 2-kilometer spatial resolution and daily timestep for the...
