ET0RadModels provides 10 radiation-based empirical models for estimating daily reference evapotranspiration (ET0), with the FAO Penman-Monteith standard method as the reference, statistical evaluation metrics, and visualization tools.
Install from CRAN:
install.packages("ET0RadModels")Or install the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("samirigfri/ET0RadModels")library(ET0RadModels)
# Compute ET0 using all 10 radiation-based models for a single day

lat = 25.43, z = 216
