2. Calculate Actual Vapour pressure eo (KPa)
E0= 0.6108 exp 17.27 (Tmin-Ko)
(T min-Ko)+237.3
=0.6108 exp 17.27(10-2)
(10-2)+237.3

=1.0727
3. Calculated Saturated vapour pressure for T max , e(Tmax)
e(Tmax) = 0.6108 exp 17.27*Tmax
T max+237.3
=0.6108 exp 17.27*41
41+237.3

4. Calculate saturated vapour pressure for Tmin e(Tmin)
e(Tmin)= 0.6108 exp 17.27*Tmin
T min+237.3
=0.6108 exp 17.27*10
10+237.3
=0.6108 exp (0.6983)
=1.2279 KPa
5. Calculate saturated vapour pressure e s (KPa)
Es = eTmin+eTmax

11. Calculate clear sky solar radiation , Rso (MJm-2 day-1)
Rso= (0.75+2*10-5*560)*36.467
Rso= 27.758
12. Calculate Solar radiation , Rs (MJm-2 day-1)
Rs= KRS √(Tmax-Tmin) *Ra

Rs= 32.486
13. Calculate net longwave radiation RnL (MJm -2day-1)
RnL = σ ( Tmax + 273.6)4 + (Tmin+273.16)4 * (0.34-0.14√eo) [1.35* (Rs/Rso)-0.35]

14. Calculate net solar radiation Rns (MJm-2day-1)
Rns = (1-α) Rs
