The DPRA Heat stress report includes reference information on the city of Wageningen on 02-08-2013. This data is relevant as it correlates with actual measurements for Wageningen. The PET measurements for this exceptionally hot day are comparable to the default 01-07-2015 reference case for Wageningen.
The performed benchmark has an average difference below 0.68% for the selected measurement points.
Results

Point Measurement Analysis
Several points have been compared for results. Points were selected where spatial conditions (e.g., foliage and vegetation fraction) are similar for both PET calculations.

| 19 | 45.59 | 44.84 | -1.65 |
| 20 | 46.21 | 45.96 | -0.54 |
| Average | 0.68 |
The average difference in calculated PET for these spatially similar points is 0.68%.
Setup
Weather data from weatherstation Herwijnen has been used for this test case. The used values are:
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| Date | 02-08-2013 |
| Hour of day | 14 |
| Sun altitude | 55.5 |
| Sun azimuth | 186.9 |
| Sun daily motion factor | 0.063 |
| Humidity (%) | 56 |
| Sun radiation (W/m2) | 774 |
| Temperature (°C) | 31.7 |
| Wind speed (m/s) | 4 |
| Wind direction (°) | 140 |
| Daily min. temperature (°C) | 18.9 |
| Daily max. temperature (°C) | 34.1 |
| Daily avg. radiation (W/m2) | 455 |
| Daily avg. wind speed | 3.17 |
The foliage height will be defined by a GeoTIFF. See the images (overview and zoomed in east-south-east corner) below:

Calculation time
The calculation time of the PET overlay of 1 timeframe on a 1x1 meter grid for a 4x4km area of Wageningen is approximately 5 seconds.
