Season formula (Water Overlay)
Revision as of 11:02, 27 February 2024 by Frank@tygron.nl (talk | contribs)
The season fraction and index are variables used for calculating the transpiration factor in the Ground evaporation formula. It uses the configured start date of a Water Overlay and selected months and day of months to determine one of the four configured (seasonal) evaporation factors.
Evaporation month indices:
Index | Month | Day of Month | Transpiration value |
---|---|---|---|
2 | March | 15 | 1st |
3 | April | 15 | 2nd |
6 | July | 15 | 3rth |
8 | September | 15 | 4th |
9 | October | 1 | 1st |
Evaporation factor graphs
The evaporation graphs showing the evaporation factor as a percentage per day. These are based on Table 2.10 Cropfactors[1] of the Gwz2016 book. The approximated graphs use five control points (see the season table above) per type, such that it can be reduced to four values per year.
Notes
- The growth season dates are determined based on western european growth and transpiration graphs of the following crops and plants: grass, corn, potato, beet, grain, orchard and heather.
