Scope:
Notes: The monthly ratio of actual evapotranspiration to potential (pan, free-water surface) evaporation. Adapted from the index by Specht and Jones (1971). Actual evapotranspiration is an output of a water balance model, and potential evaporation is an input. This ratio represents a water stress index and has been termed the ‘crop factor’ (Doorenbos and Pruitt 1975).
Keywords: evaporation, water, temperature
