Changing Trends in Meteorological Elements and Reference Evapotranspiration in a Mega City: A Case Study in Shenzhen City, China by Haijun Liu, Xian Zhang, Liwei Zhang, Xuming Wang

“…In this study, the daily, monthly, and annual climatic variables and the reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) for Shenzhen from 1954 to 2012 were computed using the FAO Penman-Monteith equation (PM), and these parameters were analyzed to study the temporal trends of ET0 and meteorological factors. The trends and the time points of abrupt changes of ET0 and meteorological factors were tested using Mann-Kendall methods. …”
