Title

Environment Agency Potential Evapotranspiration Dataset

Alternative title(s)

Abstract

Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) is the amount of evaporation which would occur if there was an unlimited supply of water. This dataset represents Potential Evapotranspiration for well watered grass and is available either with an Interception element (PETI) or without one (PET). The dataset has been calculated from homogenised climate station data, gridded to a 1km grid. The dataset starts in 1961, is available on a water day (09:00 to 09:00 on the following day) timestep and is updated frequently.

Lineage

The dataset was created from Met Office climate station data. The methodology to create the gridded input data and the calculation of Potential Evapotranspiration was developed with technical input from the Met Office and UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH).
