Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the potential evapotranspiration given the following parameters: Rn = 15 MJ/m²/day, Δ = 0.1 kPa/°C, γ = 0.067 kPa/°C, f(u) = 0.8, e_s = 2.5 kPa, e_a = 1.5 kPa.

💡 Hint: Make sure to follow the order of operations and pay attention to units.

Question 2
