Simulating Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) with FAO Penman-Monteith (April 2025)

This webinar demonstrated how to build a dynamic GoldSim model to calculate Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) using the internationally recognized FAO Penman-Monteith method. Aimed at GoldSim modelers in fields like water resources, environmental science, and agriculture, this session will walk through the implementation of the FAO-56 standard equation, translating meteorological inputs (temperature, humidity, radiation, wind speed) into ETo estimates within GoldSim.

We covered the fundamental concepts of ETo and the FAO Penman-Monteith equation, showcased the model structure within GoldSim, and provided a step-by-step demonstration of how the calculations are implemented using GoldSim elements. Learn best practices for organizing your model and discover how GoldSim's capabilities can be leveraged for simulating this component of the hydrological cycle.
