Uday and others:
PAR is not a required input for the calculation of PET based on
FAO-Penman. However, you will need recorded data for TDEW and WINDSP. If
you do not have this information, the model will make some assumptions with
respect to the values for these inputs. I would not recommend that you
FAO-Penman unless you have the required input data.
Kind regards,
Gerrit Hoogenboom
