pyet - Estimation of Potential Evaporation

pyet: Estimation of Potential Evaporation

pyet is an open source python package for calculating reference and potential evaporation (PE). Currently eighteen methods for calculating PE are implemented:

Classification	Common method name	Data needed	pyet Method	Reference

	Penman-Monteith	RH, T, U, D	pm	Monteith (1965)
	FAO-56	RH, T, U, D	pm_fao56	Allen et al. (1998)
	Priestley-Taylor	T, D	priestley_taylor	Priestley and Taylor (1972)
	Kimberly-Penman	RH, T, U, D	kimberly_penman	Wright (1982)
	Thom-Oliver	RH, T, U, D	thom_oliver	Thom and Oliver (1977)
Temperature	Blaney–Criddle	T, D	blaney_criddle	Blaney and Criddle (1952)
	Hamon	T	hamon	Hamon (1963)
	Romanenko	RH, T	romanenko	Xu and Singh (2001)
	Linacre	T	linacre	Linacre (1977)

	Doorenbos–Pruitt (FAO-24)	RH, T, U, D	fao_24	Jensen et al. (1990)
	Abtew	T, D	abtew	Abtew (1996)
	Makkink	T, D	makkink	Makkink (1957)
	Oudin	T	oudin	Oudin (2005)

T, Temperature; U, Wind Speed; D, Radiation; RH, Relative Humidity. Adapted from [@oudin2005potential].

Examples and Documentation

Examples of using pyet can be found in the example folder. This folder also contains a number of Jupyter Notebooks that thoroughly explain the use of the software. Documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs.

After defining the input data, evaporation is estimated using only one line of python code:

>>> pyet.pm_fao56(tmean, wind, rn=rn, tmax=tmax, tmin=tmin, rh=rh, elevation=elevation)

Bug reports and Questions

pyet is in active development, and bug reports are welcome as GitHub Issues. General questions or discussions are possible through GitHub Discussions.

Installation

The pyet package is available from the Pypi package index and can be installed as follows:
