Potential evapotranspiration derived from Climate Hydrology and Ecology Research Support System meteorological gridded climate observations (Hydro-PE CHESS), 1961-2019
This dataset contains two gridded potential evapotranspiration variables for Great Britain from 1961-2019: daily total potential evapotranspiration (PET; kg m-2 d-1) and daily total potential evapotranspiration with interception correction (PETI; kg m-2 d-1). The variables were calculated from the Climate Hydrology and Ecology research Support System meteorology dataset for Great Britain (1961-2019) [CHESS-met] gridded observed meteorological data at 1 km resolution. The units kg m-2 d-1 are equivalent to mm d-1. The data are provided in gridded NetCDF files. There is one file for each variable, for each calendar month.

This dataset was derived from the Climate Hydrology and Ecology research Support System meteorology dataset for Great Britain (1961-2019) [CHESS-met] at 1 km resolution over the United Kingdom for the years 1961-2019. The daily total potential evapotranspiration (PET; kg m-2 d-1) was calculated using the Penman-Monteith equation parameterised for a well-watered grass surface. The daily total potential evapotranspiration with interception correction (PETI; kg m-2 d-1), was calculated as PET then a correction added for interception by a grass canopy on days with non-zero precipitation. The CHESS-met meteorological variables used were daily mean air temperature at 1.2 m (K), specific humidity at 1.2 m(kg kg-1), surface air pressure (Pa), downward longwave radiation (W m-2), downward shortwave radiation (W m-2), monthly mean wind speed at 10 m (m s-1) and precipitation (kg m-2 s-1). A description of the methodology is available in the supporting documentation.
