Blaney et Criddle (1950) ont développé une formule simplifiée pour calculer l'évapotranspiration dans les régions arides de l'ouest des États-Unis. Dans cette méthode, (...) l'évapotranspiration mensuelle, cu, est obtenue en multipliant ensemble la température mensuelle moyenne, Tm, le pourcentage mensuel d'heures de jours par année, p, et un coefficient mensuel de culture, k. La relation est exprimée mathématiquement cu = k Tm P/100 = kf.
