 Data terukur yang dibutuhkan adalah t, RH, n/N, u, LL

 Rumus : ETo = C . ETo*

ETo* = w (0,75Rs – Rn1) + (1-w)f(u)(ea - ed)

Rs = (0,25 + 0.54n/N)Ra

Rn1 = f(t). f(ed). f(n/N)

f(t) = s. Ta4

f(ed) = 0.34 – 0.044 ed1/2

ed = ea . RH

f(n/N) = 0.1 + 0.9 n/N

f(u) = 0.27(1+U/100)

Dengan

ETo = evaporasi potensial (mm/hari)

c = Faktor koreksi

ETo* = evaporasi (mm/hari)

Contoh Perhitungan Evapotranspirasi Potensial

Data diambil pada bulan januari

Diketahui : - Temperatur Udara (°C) = 27.8°

- Kelembapan Relatif (RH) % = 68%
- Penyinaran Matahari (n/N) = 76
- Kecepatan Angin "U" (m/detik) = 2.448 m/s
- Kecepatan Angin "U" (km/hari) = 211.515 km/hari
- ea (table 5) 27.8° = 37.37 mbar
- W (table 4) 27.8° = 0.773
- Ra (table 2 atau 10) = 16.10
- F(t) Tk (Tabel 13) = 16.26

Ditanyakan : Evapotranspirasi Potensial (et0)

Jawab : Rumus ETo = C . ETo*

 ETo* = w (0,75Rs – Rn1) + (1-w)f(u)(ea - ed)

 Rs =(0.25 + 0.54 n/N) x Ra
Rs = (0.25 + (0.54 x 76%)) x 16.10
= 10.63
 Rns = (1-a) x Rs mm/hari (a=0,25)
= (1 – 0.25) x 10.63
= 7.97
 f(u) = 0.27(1+U/100)
= 0.27 (1+ 2.448/100)
= 0.277
 ed = ea . (RH/100)
= 37.37 x (68/100)
= 25.41
 F(ed) =0.34 - 0.44 √ed
= 0.34 – ( 0.44 x √25.41 )
= 0.118
 f(n/N) = 0.1 + 0.9 n/N
= 0.1 + ( 0.9 x 76%)
= 0.78
 Rn1 = f(t). f(ed). f(n/N)
= 16.26 x 0.118 x 0.78
= 1.51
 Ud day atau U night dilihat dari tabel 16 = 2
 C (tabel PN.3) = 1.1
 ETo* = w (0,75Rs – Rn1) + (1-w)f(u)(ea - ed)
= 0.773 ((0.75 x 10.63) – 1.51) + (1- 0.773) x 0.277 x 11.96
= 5.750
 ETo = C. ETo*
= 1.1 x 5.750
=6.325 mm/hari
 ETo = 6.325 x 31 hari
= 196.074 mm/bulan
