Popis: The pyfao56 software package is a Python-based implementation of the standardized evapotranspiration (ET) methodologies described in Irrigation and Drainage paper No. 56 of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, commonly known as FAO-56. This update improved pyfao56 by 1) adding an optional surface runoff methodology, 2) adding an extensive algorithm for automating the computation of irrigation schedules, 3) considering irrigation losses due to irrigation system inefficiencies, 4) adding an optional method to compute the transpiration reduction coefficient (Ks) based on the curvilinear approach from AquaCrop, 5) incorporating a module for computing 15 goodness-of-fit statistics between simulated and measured data, and 6) computing a cumulative seasonal water balance summary. Most of these updates arose from user requests to add new features or options, and the collaborations demonstrated the value of community-based development for rapid improvement and generalization of scientific software.
