Hourly computed potential evapotranspiration in thousandths of an inch, January 1, 1948 - September 30, 2021

The text file "PET.txt" contains hourly potential evapotranspiration (PET) data, in thousandths of an inch, from January 1, 1948, to September 30, 2021. Daily PET were computed from average daily air temperature, average daily dewpoint temperature, daily total wind speed, and daily total solar radiation and disaggregated to hourly PET, using the Fortran program LXPET (Murphy, 2005). The primary source of the data is Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne National Laboratory, 2022), and data processing followed the guidelines documented in Over and others (2010).
