A BASIC Computer Program to Calculate Daily Potential Evapotranspiration

A BASIC microcomputer program was developed to calculate daily potential evapotranspiration (PET) by the method of Thornthwaite and Mather. Daily and cumulative PET values are calculated and displayed as rapidly as daily air temperatures are entered. In example, PET is used as an index of actual evapotranspiration where soil water is maintained at low tensions. Tree Planters' Notes 39(3): 9-12; 1988.
