about=The SEBCS for QGIS is software enabling calculation of energy balance and
    crop water stress features (heat fluxes, evaporative fraction, Bowen ratio,
    Omega factor, CWSI etc.) from Landsat satellite data (L5 TM, L7 ETM+, L8 and L9
    OLI/TIRS) and also from other devices (e.g. UAV). Calculation procedure uses
    approach based on Penman-Monteith method, SEBAL method and gradient approach of
    the energy balance characteristics calculation.

        - Porting Help to GitHub.io - basic structure
        - Bug fixes
    2.1.1 : (220223)
        - UI scaling - better but still not good...
    2.1.0 : (201020)
        - Changes in UI - simplification, possible keeping the setting
        etc.
        - Simplification of the code
        - Some bugs fixed
        - Larger changes i SEBCS_lib
    2.0.0 : (191202)
        - Complete
    1.1.3 : (190923)
        - Redefinition of sensible heat flux calculation. Temperature difference
         definition is newly defined according to SEBAL. SEBAL procedure was
         added to SEBCS library (not used for heat fluxes calculation).
        - Minor changes in scripts, bug fixes
        - Improving comments in SEBCS lib
    1.1.2 : (190429)
		- Changes in z0m calculation. Method according to PySEBAL was used (see Jaafar, H.H., Ahmad, F.A., 2019. Time series trends of Landsat-based ET using automated calibration in METRIC and SEBAL: The Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. Remote Sensing of Environment S0034425718305947. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2018.12.033)
	1.1.1 : (190409)
		- Added albedo calculation for Landsat 8 according to Olmedo et al. (Constants from R package water) 
	1.1.0 : (190326)
		- UI changes
	1.0.0 : (190305)
		- migration to Python 3, Qt5 and finally to QGIS 3.+
		- Minor changes in scripts
	0.1.6 : (190121)
		- minor changes
	0.1.5 : (181120)
		- minor changes
	0.1.4 : (171211)
		- added possibility to use layer of canopy height (calculated e.g. from lidar data)
		- change UI
	0.1.3 : (160814)
		- change in UI - replacing output file(s) type chooser
		- minor changes
	0.1.2 : (160714)
		- change name of module from SEBCS to SEBCS for QGIS
		- Minor changes
	0.1.1 : (160615) 
		- Added some helps and additions to UI
		- Minor changes
	0.1.0 : (160419)
