Examples

# Use processed existing data set from kent Town, Adelaide
data("processeddata")
data("constants")

# Set data class to be "Penman" to call function
funname <- "Penman" 
class(data) <- funname 

# Call generic function ET(data, ...) with class "Penman"
results <- ET(data, constants, solar="sunshine hours", wind=
"yes", windfunction_ver = "1948", alpha = 0.08, z0 = 0.001)
