3rd Party Weather Software that gives PET
« on: July 23, 2014, 10:02:04 PM »

Have been debating which 3rd party software to use with a Davis VP2 Plus and 6520 data logger for Mac.
I am after all the basic readings but most importantly Solar Radiation and ET or PET with a later possibility of adding Soil Moisture and Soil Temperature. Would the evapotranspiration calculation just come with most 3rd party software like WeatherCat and WeatherDisplay?
Also what would be the easiest to use in regards to putting online?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Weather Display gives pretty detailed ET data. Weather Display also has a calculated soil moisture deficit. I don't know how accurate that is. Weather Display calculates its own ET. Of course you can have Weather Display use the VP2+ ET.

Anytime. I love Weather Display. I'm a pretty simplistic guy and Weather Display is super fun to use.
