HydPy-E (Evap)

The purpose of HydPy-E model family is to calculate potential evapotranspiration (PET). While application models like lland_v1 calculate potential evaporation on their own, it seems preferable to separate the PET calculations from the more model-specific process equations to increase flexibility. This strategy allows, for example, to combine the “LARSIM” process equations of application model lland_v2 with different types of PET calculatable by the available evap models.

As a start, we provide application model evap_v001 for calculating the FAO reference evapotranspiration.
