Calculation of potential evapotranspiration (PET) has been problematic in Newfoundland (NL) due to the lack of measured data. Therefore, PET data obtained from the Pacific Field Corn Association for St John’s, NL was compared against five empirical PET calculation equations (i.e. (i) radiation-based...
