Potential Evapotranspiration Modeling in a Floodplain Forest

A python implementation of the Priestly-Taylor equations (Priestly and Taylor, 1972) in modeling PET for Congaree National Park

Collaborators:

Project Goal:

  • We aim to model the potential evapotranspiration in Congaree National Park for use in a groundwater modeling study.

Data:

Area of Study:

Congaree National Park lies in a floodplain forest on the coastal plains of South Carolina, approximately 20 miles southeast of Columbia, SC. The Congaree River marks the southern boundary of the park. The park is maintained by the National Park Service, and hosts over 150,000 visitors per year.

Background Reading:

  • Priestly, C.H.B. and Taylor, R.J. (1972). On the assessment of surface heat flux and evaporation using large-scale parameters. Monthly weather review 100(2), 81-92.
