ETo - A Python package for calculating reference evapotranspiration

The ETo package contains a class and associated functions to calculate reference evapotranspiration (ETo) using the UN-FAO 56 paper [1]. Additional functions have been added to calculate historic ETo or potential evapotranspiration (PET) for comparison purposes.

The GitHub repository is found here

A parameter estimation function hs also been added to the base class to convert most any variety of metereological parameter inputs to the necessary parameters needed to calculate ETo.
