Ruby library for calculating reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo), also referred to as potential evapotranspiration (PET), using the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method. This was originally ported into Ruby from the [PyETo Python package from Mark Richards](https://github.com/woodcrafty/PyETo). The library provides numerous methods for estimating missing meteorological data.

Three methods for estimating ETo/PET are implemented:

- FAO-56 Penman-Monteith (Allen et al, 1998)

- Hargreaves (Hargreaves and Samani, 1982; 1985)

- Thornthwaite (Thornthwaite, 1948)

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby

gem 'evapotranspiration'

```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install evapotranspiration
