Evaporation What is evaporation? How is evaporation measured? How is evaporation estimated? Reading: Applied Hydrology Sections 4.1 and 4.2 on Infiltration and soil water movement

Evaporation Evaporation – process by which liquid water becomes water vapor Transpiration – process by which liquid water passes from liquid to vapor through plant metabolism Evapotranspiration – evaporation through plants and trees, and directly from the soil and land surface Potential Evaporation – evaporation from an open water surface or from a well-watered grass surface

Factors Influencing Evaporation Energy supply for vaporization (latent heat) Solar radiation Transport of vapor away from evaporative surface Wind velocity over surface Specific humidity gradient above surface Vegetated surfaces Supply of moisture to the surface Evapotranspiration (ET) Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) – moisture supply is not limited Net radiation Evaporation Air Flow u

Evapotranspiration (ET) Over land surfaces, we cannot distinguish between water vapor that evaporated from the soil and water vapor that was transpired through plants

Evaporation from an Open Water Surface Simplest form of evapotranspiration This is the amount of water lost from lakes and reservoirs Often estimating by measuring the loss from a National Weather Service Class A pan This is referred to as Potential Evapotranspiration (ETp) because it is the maximum potential rate of ET under the given meteorological conditions

Lysimeters Measurement of evapotranspiration

Flux Towers (Marcy Litvak)

Flux tower instruments The eddy correlation technique is very simple in theory, but quite difficult to put into practice. A major problem has been availability of sufficiently fast instruments to measure the fluctuating signals. Unless an instrument has a sufficiently fast response and logging time to resolve the fastest eddies contributing to the turbulent flux, this portion of the flux will not be recorded. Another effect of slow logging is that the faster eddies may fold around the Ultrasonic Doppler anemometers are normally used to measure the three components of wind. These instruments are easily fast enough to resolve turbulence under most practical conditions, - they have maximum response and reporting frequencies up to around 100 Hz. The problem with such anemometers tends to be designing logging systems fast enough to log the data. The potential difficulty in designing working Eddy Covariance systems is often in finding the right instrument to detect the variable of interest to be correlated with the vertical wind fluctuations (the scalar variable). Some instruments simply are not fast enough, for example the DMPS (see section 7), and many chemiluminescent analysers. Also, measuring certain gases is fundamentally problematic, as some ("sticky") gases can adhere to the inside of inlet lines before reaching the analyser. This damps the signal, giving the same problem as a poor frequency response instrument (although without the frequency folding).   The final factor affecting response time of eddy covariance systems is the size of the sensor. Eddies smaller than the size of the transducer array of the anemometer cannot be detected effectively. This places an upper frequency limit on response according to Taylor’s hypothesis (see section 4.1). The effect of this limit has not been observed in measurements referred this work. The frequency required for the Eddy Covariance method depends upon the mean eddy size at the sensors. This is a function of surface roughness length z0 (see section 4.2.4) and measurement height z. Specifically, larger values of z0 give larger mean eddy sizes and ease the frequency requirements for the system. Equally, larger values of z (larger measurement heights) give larger mean eddy sizes, having the same effect.
