Two temperature formulas are used in the calculation of the PET value:

  • The atmospheric temperature Ta
  • The wet-bulb temperatur Tw

Atmospheric Temperature formula

Ta,t=Tstation,t+UHImax,tfsun,t

where

Wet-bulb Temperature formula

Tw,t=Ta,tarctan(0.151977ϕ+8.313659)+arctan(Ta+ϕ)arctan(ϕ1.676331)+0.00391838ϕ32arctan(0.023101ϕ)4.686935

where:

  • Tw,t is the calculated wet-bulb temperature;
  • Ta,t is the calculated atmospheric temperature;
  • ϕ is the sun altitude angle;
