DESCRIPTION

       i.evapo.pm, given the vegetation height (hc), humidity (RU),  wind  speed  at  two  meters  height  (WS),
       temperature  (T),  digital terrain model (DEM), and net radiation (NSR) raster input maps, calculates the
       potential evapotranspiration map (EPo).

       Optionally the user can activate a flag (-z) that  allows  him  setting  to  zero  all  of  the  negative
       evapotranspiration  cells;  in  fact these negative values motivated by the condensation of the air water
       vapour content, are sometime undesired because they can produce  computational problems. The usage of the
       flag -n detect that the module is run in night hours and the appropriate soil heat flux is calculated.

       The  algorithm  implements well known approaches: the hourly Penman-Monteith method as presented in Allen
       et al. (1998) for land surfaces and the Penman method (Penman, 1948) for water surfaces.

       Land and water surfaces are idenfyied by Vh:

           •   where Vh gt 0 vegetation is present and evapotranspiration is calculated;

           •   where Vh = 0 bare ground is present and evapotranspiration is calculated;

           •   where Vh lt 0 water surface is present and evaporation is calculated.

       For more details on the algorithms see [1,2,3].

NOTES

       Net solar radiation map in MJ/(m2*h) can be computed from the combination of the r.sun , run in  mode  1,
       and the r.mapcalc commands.

       The sum of the three radiation components outputted by r.sun (beam, diffuse, and reflected) multiplied by
       the Wh to Mj conversion factor (0.0036) and optionally by a clear sky factor [0-1] allows the  generation
       of a map to be used as an NSR input for the i.evapo.PM command.

       Example:
       r.sun -s elevin=dem aspin=aspect slopein=slope lin=2 albedo=alb_Mar \
             incidout=out beam_rad=beam diff_rad=diffuse refl_rad=reflected \
             day=73 time=13:00 dist=100;
       r.mapcalc "NSR = 0.0036 * (beam + diffuse + reflected)"
