PENV - Penman-Van Bavel ETP
The DynaMet-5 is a complete ETp (Evapotranspiration)
weather station which includes the DynaLog1000 data
logger and the MaxiMet 500 compact weather station kit.
The rainfall sensor included is the TE525, which is a very
rugged and accurate rainfall sensor. A soil temperature
probe is also included. The system comes with all software
for programming, data collection, and calculation of ETp.
The DynaMet-5 is a research grade, weather station ideal
for research, commercial, or agricultural applications.
Comes complete with a 6 ft Tripod, cross-arm, grounding
kit, rechargeable battery and 10 Watt solar panel.
Evapotranspiration Software
Standard evapotranspiration modeling software is
packaged with the Dynamet weather station. The purpose
is to compute the potential evapotranspiration from short
grass (ETP) in mm per hour on an hourly basis. A daily
total in mm is also computed. The algorithms are based
on the method originally proposed by Penman, but with
several modifications by Dr. C.H.M. Van Bavel that updated
the procedure. Whereas the original method was designed
to give only daily totals from average daily weather data,
the present method uses hourly input data and provides
a more realistic picture of the evaporative demand. PENV
software facilitates a variety of research and commercial
weather tracking projects.
MaxiMet™
MaxiMet is an advanced compact weather station designed
and manufactured by Gill Instruments using proven
technology to measure meteorological and environmental
parameters to international standards. MaxiMet
incorporates all the measurement parameters that meet
the requirements of users in demanding applications where
cost, quality and performance are essential.
