Evapotranspiration (4)
ET Measurements
• Lysimeters
• Evaporation Pans
• Pan size effects
Lysimeter
• Allow determination of
water balance of a block of
soil

Weighing
Lysimeters
• Use a balance to assess
changes in storage

Draining Lysimeters
• Soil block is
isolated but must
be undisturbed and
in the same
surroundings
• Can’t measure
change in storage,
only inputs and
outputs

Evaporation Pans
Solve a simplified water-balance equation for a given period (t):
E = W – (V2 – V1)
E = Evaporation
W = Precipitation during t
V1 = Volume at beginning of t
V2 = Volume at end of t
Estimating the Effect of Pan Size
Empirical equations to account for energy exchange through the side the
pan, in order to estimate free water evaporation:

+ when Tspan > Ta
- when Tspan < Ta
