eto=name[,name,...] [required]
Names of meteorological station ETo raster maps [0-400] [mm/d or cm/d]

eto_doy_min=float [required]
Value of DOY for ETo first day

start_period=float [required]
Value of DOY for the first day of the period studied

DESCRIPTION

i.evapo.time (i.evapo.time_integration) integrates ETa in time following a reference ET
(typically) from a set of meteorological stations dataset. Inputs:

· ETa images

· ETa images DOY (Day of Year)

· ETo images

· ETo DOYmin as a single value
Method:

1 each ETa pixel is divided by the same day ETo and become ETrF

2 each ETrF pixel is multiplied by the ETo sum for the representative days

3 Sum all n temporal [ETrF*ETo_sum] pixels to make a summed(ET) in [DOYmin;DOYmax]

representative days calculation: let assume i belongs to range [DOYmin;DOYmax]
DOYbeforeETa[i] = ( DOYofETa[i] - DOYofETa[i-1] ) / 2
DOYafterETa[i] = ( DOYofETa[i+1] - DOYofETa[i] ) / 2

NOTES

ETo images preparation: If you only have one meteorological station data set, the easiest
way is:
n=0
for ETo_val in Eto[1] Eto[2] ...
do
r.mapcalc "eto$n = $ETo_val"
`expr n = n + 1`
done
with Eto[1], Eto[2], etc being a simple copy and paste from your data file of all ETo
values separated by an empty space from each other.

If you have several meteorological stations data, then you need to grid them by generating
Thiessen polygons or using different interpolation methods for each day.

For multi-year calculations, just continue incrementing DOY values above 366, it will
continue working, up to maximum input of 400 satellite images.
