An Evaluation of the Thornthwaite and Mean Temperature Methods for Determining Potential Evapotranspiration
1960
Pelton, W. L. | King, K. M. | Tanner, C. B.
SynopsisMeasurements of potential evapotranspiration indicate that mean temperature cannot be relied upon for general use in estimating evapotranspiration during short-periods. Mean temperature methods can be used with limited success for long-period (growing season, and annual) estimates of potential evapotranspiration, but energy balance methods are preferable if radiation data are available.
