Parlange, M.B. and Katul, G.G., 1992. Estimation of the diurnal variation of potential evaporation from a wet bare soil surface. J. Hydrol., 132: 71-89. Potential evaporation from a wet bare soil field was measured with a large sensitive weighing lysimeter on a 20 min time step for 5 days at Davis, California. The diurnal evaporation rate modeled with the Penman-Brutsaert model for potential ev...

Net canopy interception (Inet) during rainfall in an old-growth Douglas-fir–western hemlock ecosystem was 22.8 and 25.0% of the gross rainfall (PG) for 1999 and 2000, respectively. The average direct throughfall proportion (p) and canopy storage capacity (S) derived from high-temporal resolution throughfall measurements were 0.36 and 3.3 mm, respectively. Derived values of S were very sensitive...

The atmospheric radiative forcing is a central theme of climate change impact studies. The presence of Atmospheric Brown Clouds due to increased aerosol concentrations and green house gases such as water vapour, CO2 alter solar radiation and atmospheric thermal regimes. Both have strong feedbacks on open water evaporation. The measured daily global (direct + diffuse) insolation for a period of ...

The problem of the dehydrated patient is a very real one, and dehydration occurs far more commonly than is realized, particularly in tropical and sub-tropical countries. The normal daily fluid loss from the body in a temperate climate, through the lungs, skin, urine and faeces, is approximately 4? pints. In hot countries the urine output is lower, but evaporation Jrom the skin is greatly increa...

Cooling is a common phenomenon in daily life. Among different means of cooling, evaporative cooling through the evaporation liquids prominent method, for it removes large quantities heat. Our prompt aimed at evaluating impacts parameters on speed cooling. We evaluate degree impact by experiment and simulation experiments with finite element software COMSOL, using containers shapes, wind speeds,...

Ma and Zhang (2017) note a concern they have with our rescaled Complementary Relationship (CR) for land surface evaporation when daily average wind speeds are very low (perhaps less than 1 m/s). We discuss conditions and specific formulations that lead to this concern, but ultimately argue that under these conditions, a key assumption behind the CR itself may not be satisfied at the daily time ...

Despite potential evaporation rates in excess of the local precipitation, dry climates often support saline lakes through groundwater inputs of water and associated solutes. These groundwater-fed lakes are important indicators of environmental change, in part because their shallow water levels and salinity are very sensitive to weather and climatic variability. Some of this sensitivity arises f...

hydrologic regime is highly dependent on climate change, as hydrologic cycle components are directly influenced by climatic conditions. this paper analyzes the impacts of climate change on the hydrologic regime of the atrak river basin in the northeast of iran. it drains to the caspian sea. the data collected at 11 hydrometeorological stations were examined to detect trends in hydroclimatologic...
