The climate module accepts a number of commonly available climate inputs and converts them into precipitation and the input required by the reference ET model, according to the selected Climate model. Two model types are currently available:
· The Rainfall only model. This is the simplest climate model, only requiring a Rainfall time series as input.
· The FAO 56 climate model. This model is only relevant if the evapotranspiration model is of the type FAO 56. The required inputs for this model are climatic data, rainfall data and geographical information about the location of the irrigated area
