Dear Kelsey,
The FAO Irrigation and Drainage paper 56 "Crop Evapotranspiration" describes
methods to calculate Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) even if only
temperature data are available. The publication is available at:
http://www.fao.org/docrep/X0490E/X0490E00.htm
The CROPWAT 8.0 software facilitates the use of these procedures and
calculations. CROPWAT 8.0 is freely available at:
http://www.fao.org/nr/water/infores_databases_cropwat.html
Regards,
Giovanni Munoz

Subject: Evapotranspiration Model
Hi all,
If we only have a minimum data set (SRAD, Minimum Temperature, Maximum
Temperature and Precipitation), and select FAO56 as our evapotranspiration
model, what model is actually used? Does DSSAT default to a certain model,
or will it calculate values so it can use the FAO56 model?
Thanks,
Kelsey
