Thornthwaite’s Potential Evapotranspiration Rate Assessment and Implication on Rainfall Induced Floods in a Coastal Expanse of NigeriaBy David O. Edokpa, Precious N. Ede, Susan I. Ajiere, Bridget E. Diagi
Abstract: This study examined the potential evapotranspiration (PET) rate effects on rainfall-induced floods within Port Harcourt, a coastal city in Nigeria. Mean monthly rainfall and air temperature data for 39 years (1979–2018) was sourced from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency and used to evaluate the potential evapotranspiration (PET) of the area using the Thornthwaite’s method. Results revealed that the mean rainfall and PET values for Port Harcourt during the periods under review …
