Reference crop evaporation
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008472
The rate of evapotranspiration from a hypothetical reference crop, such as short green grass or alfalfa, under well-watered conditions and specific atmospheric parameters. This value serves as a baseline to estimate the water requirements of other crops. It is typically calculated using meteorological data and established formulas like the Penman-Monteith equation.
