A recommendation on standardized surface resistance for hourly calculation of reference ETo by the FAO56 Penman-Monteith method

Continued development of networks of electronic weather stations worldwide has increased the availability of weather data for calculating ETo on an hourly basis. There has been question and debate as well as studies on the appropriate expression and parameterization for the surface resistance (rs) parameter of the Penman-Monteith (PM) equation and the associated coefficient for the reduced form FAO-PM equation when applied hourly.
