Instructions

Use this episode to select a location, inspect current and historical weather, obtain provider-derived ETo, and choose FAO Penman–Monteith or Hargreaves when a transparent calculation is required. Verify units, time zone, data source, and local representativeness before using the result in an experiment.

Columns

Location; coordinates; time period; weather variables; ETo source/method; units; quality notes.

Units and measurement basis

Weather variables and ETo are reported in the units shown by the calculator; ETo is commonly mm/day. Preserve the source, time zone, and aggregation period.

Origin and methods

HydroIrrigaNex seminar tutorial prepared from the site weather and reference ET workflows. The episode explains Open-Meteo forecast data and ERA5 reanalysis context, and distinguishes provider-derived ETo from transparent FAO calculation methods. This is educational material, not a field dataset.
