## DESCRIPTION

i.eb.eta calculates the actual evapotranspiration (ETa ; mm/d) for diurnal period after [1], implemented in [3]. It takes input of Diurnal Net Radiation (see r.sun), evaporative fraction (see i.eb.evapfr) and surface skin temperature.

## NOTES

Full ETa processing will need those:

- i.vi, i.albedo, r.latlong, i.emissivity
- i.evapo.potrad (GRASS Addon)
- i.eb.netrad, i.eb.soilheatflux, i.eb.hsebal01
- i.eb.evapfr, i.eb.eta

(for time integration: i.evapo.time_integration)

For more details on the algorithms see [1][2][3][4].
