To calculate basin-wide Oudin potential evapotranspiration, it is advised, when possible, to use either station temperature or gridded temperature data to calculate PE and then average these PE values at the basin scale.
In the \code{JD} argument, the Julian day of the year of the 1st of January is equal to 1 and the 31st of December to 365 (366 in leap years). If the Julian day of the year is computed on an object of the \code{POSIXlt} class, the user has to add 1 to the returned value (e.g. \code{as.POSIXlt("2016-12-31")$yday + 1}).
When hourly temperature is provided, all the values of the same day have to be set to the same Julian day of the year (e.g. \code{as.POSIXlt("2016-12-31 00:00:00")$yday + 1} and \code{as.POSIXlt("2016-12-31 00:01:00")$yday + 1}). Each single day must be provided 24 identical Julian day values (one for each hour).
