Parameters:
eta=name[,name,...] [required]
Names of satellite ETa raster maps [mm/d or cm/d]
eta_doy=name[,name,...] [required]
Names of satellite ETa Day of Year (DOY) raster maps [0-400] [-]
eto=name[,name,...] [required]
Names of meteorological station ETo raster maps [0-400] [mm/d or
cm/d]
eto_doy_min=float [required]
Value of DOY for ETo first day
start_period=float [required]
Value of DOY for the first day of the period studied
end_period=float [required]
Value of DOY for the last day of the period studied
output=name [required]
Name for output raster map
DESCRIPTION
i.evapo.time (i.evapo.time_integration) integrates ETa in time follow-
ing a reference ET (typically) from a set of meteorological stations
dataset. Inputs:
• ETa images
• ETa images DOY (Day of Year)
• ETo images
• ETo DOYmin as a single value
Method:
1 each ETa pixel is divided by the same day ETo and become ETrF
2 each ETrF pixel is multiplied by the ETo sum for the representa-
tive days
3 Sum all n temporal [ETrF*ETo_sum] pixels to make a summed(ET) in
[DOYmin;DOYmax]
representative days calculation: let assume i belongs to range
[DOYmin;DOYmax]
DOYbeforeETa[i] = ( DOYofETa[i] - DOYofETa[i-1] ) / 2
DOYafterETa[i] = ( DOYofETa[i+1] - DOYofETa[i] ) / 2
NOTES
ETo images preparation: If you only have one meteorological station
data set, the easiest way is:
n=0
for ETo_val in Eto[1] Eto[2] ...
do
r.mapcalc "eto$n = $ETo_val"
`expr n = n + 1`
done
with Eto[1], Eto[2], etc being a simple copy and paste from your data
file of all ETo values separated by an empty space from each other.
If you have several meteorological stations data, then you need to grid
them by generating Thiessen polygons or using different interpolation
methods for each day.
For multi-year calculations, just continue incrementing DOY values
above 366, it will continue working, up to maximum input of 400 satel-
lite images.
