Brief description
Data contained in this directory span the period 1 JAN 1981 to 31 DEC 2011 and comprise estimates of potential evaporation formulated using a variety of methods as well as intermediary datasets used to create the potential evaporation data. The main intermediary datasets relate to surface radiation but also include windspeed, vapour pressure deficit and air temperature. In addition, two 'reference datasets' are included: FAO56 crop reference evapotranspiration (Allen et al., 1998) and 'PenPan' evaporation (Rotstayn et al. 2006), which is synthetic US Class A pan evaporation. The source data (maximum and minimum air temperature, vapour pressure) are not available through this website (see Jones et al. (2009) for access).Available: 2017-03-15
Data time period: 1981-01-01 to 2011-12-31
