Tool ETpot (after Hargreaves, Grid)
Estimation of daily potential evapotranspiration from daily average, minimum and maximum temperatures using Hargreave's empirical equation. In order to estimate extraterrestrial net radiation geographic latitude of observation and Julian day have to be supplied too.
