| description | The pyfao56 software package is a Python-based implementation of the standardized evapotranspiration (ET) methodologies described in Irrigation and Drainage paper No. 56 of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, commonly known as FAO-56. This update improved pyfao56 by (1) enhancing the “forecast” module which obtains seven-day weather forecasts from the National Weather Service (NWS), (2) incorporating measured soil water content profiles to estimate soil water depletion in the dynamic and maximum root zones, (3) adding visualization tools that plot measured and simulated soil water depletion and ET versus time, (4) updating the format of standard file headers to include timestamps, simulation options, and user defined metadata, and (5) incorporating minor improvements to the functionality of the core pyfao56 modules. These updates arose from efforts to incorporate pyfao56 into a computational workflow for maize irrigation scheduling research at the Limited Irrigation Research Farm (LIRF) in Greeley, Colorado during the 2023 growing season. |
