Penman-Monteith and Priestley-Taylor Evaporation
Operationalizing the Penman-Monteith and Priestley-Taylor ET models

This document synthesizes the information required to determine evapotranspiration (ET) using both the FAO’s version of the Penman-Monteith (PM) equation (Allen et al. 1998), as well as the Priestley-Taylor (PT) equation. An online version of the FAO report is available here.
