The evapotranspiration for a homogeneous grass canopy was estimated on a daily basis using the FAO Penman-Monteith method (FAO PM ET0)* implemented in the sirad package (CRAN R)**. The input variables were the daily minimum and maximum air temperature (°C), daily mean wind speed (m/s), daily solar radiation sum (MJ/m²d), and the mean daily vapour pressure (kPa).

Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index |
Description
:
|
The SPEI is a multi-scalar drought index based on the climatic water balance defined by the total amount of precipitation minus evapotranspiration. The SPEI package (CRAN R)* was used for its calculation. Essentially, the data are transformed to a Gaussian standard distribution with zero mean and a standard deviation of one, assuming a Log-logistic distribution and using probability weighted moments for parameter estimation. Thus, a self-calibrating and standardized index for a given location is obtained (negative values indicate dry conditions and positive values indicate wet conditions).
