Surface Energy Balance and Crop Coefficient Evapotranspiration Estimation
Computes and integrates surface energy balance components of evapotranspiration (ET), sensible heat (H), soil heat flux (G) and net radiation (Rn) into the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Irrigation and Drainage Paper 56 (FAO-56) water balance model. The package can perform single crop coefficient (Kc), dual Kc and the integration of thermal-based evaporative fractions in a water balance model. The surface energy balance models include Two-Source Surface Energy Balance (TSEB) models, namely the Priestley-Taylor TSEB (TSEB-PT), the Penman-Monteith TSEB (TSEB-PM) and TSEB-Parallel, as well as One-Source Surface Energy Balance (OSEB) models, namely the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL), Mapping Evapotranspiration at high Resolution with Internalized Calibration (METRIC), Surface Energy Balance Index (SEBI), Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEB) and Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS). Methods are described in Allen et al. (2007) <doi:10.1061/(ASCE)0733-9437(2007)133:4(380)> and Bastiaanssen et al. (1998) <doi:10.1016/S0022-1694(98)00253-4>.

# Surface Energy Balance and Crop Coefficient Estimation with R
This R package computes and integrates surface energy balance into FAO56 crop water balance model
Specifically, the package can perform the following functions:
+ Single crop cofficient modelling
+ Dual crop cofficient modelling
+ the integration of thermal-based Evaporative Fractions in a water balance model
+ The computation of Two Source Surface Energy Balance (TSEB) model such as such as TSEB-PT,
TSEB-PM and TSEB-Parallel
+ The computation of One Source Surface Energy Balance (OSEB) models such as SEBAL, METRIC, SEBI, SSEB and SEBS
