The reference evapotranspiration forecast is the expected amount of daily reference evapotranspiration in hundredths of an inch for the next 7 days and a total reference of evapotranspiration for the 7 day period. The forecast is calculated using the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) Standardized Reference Evapotranspiration Equation for a tall crop with an approximate height of 0.5 meters (similar to full cover alfalfa). This equation uses the National Weather Service forecast of temperature, relative humidity, wind, and cloud cover for inputs. |
