Desert Sense Releases ET-Management Service

Since the birth of modern mechanized agriculture, scientists have made huge strides in understanding and quantifying the interrelation of soil biology, nutrients, moisture, atmospheric dynamics and plant growth. The addition of weather forecasting with simulated computer models has refined our current knowledge of the dynamics between wind, rain, solar radiation, temperature and humidity; the five fundamental values required to calculate an ET value. From a thermodynamic and physical approach it is clear how the five fundamental variables are interrelated. This was demonstrated by the Penman-Monteith equation, whose roots go back to 1948 .
