Exploring the Feasibility of Negative Reference Evapotranspiration Calculations Using the FAO Penman-Monteith Model
Water BodiesDecoding Evapotranspiration: Why Negative Numbers Aren’t Always Bad News Evapotranspiration (ET) – it’s a mouthful, I know! But stick with me, because it’s basically how water moves from the earth to the atmosphere, a combo of evaporation and plant transpiration. Think of it as the planet breathing. Getting ET right is super important for everything
