FAO-56 Penman-Monteith Daily ETo from Linear Regression Calibrated Hargreaves Equation with Wind Terms in Tropics with Limited Data

Hargreaves equation (HG), which lacks a wind speed (u2) term, was modified, through a linear regression calibration method, into LHGu which has u2 terms. LHGu is effectively a simplified method for approximating FAO-56 Penman-Monteith equation (FPM) daily reference evapotranspiration (ETo) in tropic...
