Motivation
• NC Agriculture: – Annual $71B economy– 19% of state income– Over 16% of work force
(NCDA&CS 2008) • Agriculture is largest
consumer of water in US (NOAA 2002)

Introduction
• ET provides guidance for crop management• Limited ET observations• Solution: UN FAO Penman-Monteith method
to estimate daily reference crop ET– Theoretical grass reference crop
• Height of 0.12m• Albedo of 0.23• Surface resistance of 70s/m• Weekly irrigation schedule
– Min/Max Temp, Min/Max RH, Avg SR, Avg WS– Dependent on time of year & location (elev, lat)

Daily estimation
• Calculates RefET for stations on selected date of interest (YY-MM-DD)– Date range: 01 Jan 2002 - yesterday– ASOS, AWOS, ECONET, RAWS, USCRN– Virginia, Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama

Climatology product
• Years: 2002-2008• Daily average: 7-day moving average
– Annual time series for each station
• Average monthly totals– Annual bar chart for each station
Both products require >80% of data, and data must pass QC checks

Summary - Analysis
• Direct relationship: SR, temp, WS• Indirect relationship: RH• SR main energy source for ET

Future Work
• Analyze trends across the Southeast– Sensitivity analysis of inputs– Spatial variation (regional trends)– Temporal variation (seasonal trends)
