Wind speed is required by SWAT+ when the Penman-Monteith equation is used to calculate potential evapotranspiration. Mean daily wind speed is generated in SWAT+ using a modified exponential equation:
1.3.6.1
where is the mean wind speed for the day (), is the average wind speed for the month (), and is a random number between 0.0 and 1.0.
