on the meteorological site at the Experiment station, evapoEvaporation from fibreglass pans painted silver was less than ration from the metal pan was greater. from Class 'A' (metal) pans. Painting the fibreglass pans with dark paint decreased the difference in evaporation but the seasonal differences were not uniform. It was also shown that placing a screen over both types of pans decreased ev...

evaporation of micro-liter drops from solid surfaces at room condition is mainly governed by diffusion. therefore, there should be no difference between evaporation rate of sessile and pendant drops. however, some studies indicate a difference and explain the difference using buoyancy. the objective here is to reconcile the inconsistency in the literature. for that, first, by comparing two iden...

The Craig-Gordon model (C-G model) [H. Craig, L.I. Gordon. Deuterium and oxygen 18 variations in the ocean and the marine atmosphere. In Stable Isotopes in Oceanographic Studies and Paleotemperatures, E. Tongiorgi (Ed.), pp. 9-130, Laboratorio di Geologia Nucleare, Pisa (1965).] has been synonymous with the isotope effects associated with the evaporation of water from surface waters, soils, and...

The phase change of water from liquid to vapor is one of the most energy-intensive physical processes in nature, giving it immense potential for cooling. Diverse evaporative cooling strategies have resulted worldwide, including roof ponds and sprinklers, courtyard fountains, wind catchers with qanats, irrigated green roofs, and fan-assisted evaporative coolers. These methods all require water i...

Evaporation is a key parameter in the regional atmospheric water cycle. Precipitation recycling is defined as the contribution of water that evaporates from a region to precipitation within the same region. We apply a dynamic precipitation recycling model, which includes a dynamic moisture storage term, to calculate the warm season variability of the precipitation recycling over central Europe ...

evaporation from the soil surface has an important role in the water balance model in nature, so that the major part of rain fall and irrigation water in arid and semi-arid regions is lost via evaporation from the soil surface. in such areas, there are some regions with high water table and because of evaporation from the soil surface, salts accumulation also occur in the soil surface. so evapo...

A technique for the study of evaporation from the precorneal and cornea! surfaces has been developed. Evaporation from the superficial lipid layer (SLL) has been measured to be 10.1 x 10~ Gm.cm.^secr When this lipid layer is removed, evaporation increases around fourfold. Evaporation from the dry epithelial surface occurs at a rate of 1.8 x JO" Gm.cmr^secr After the epithelium is removed, a twe...

How rising temperature and changing solar radiation affect evaporation of natural water bodies remains poor understood. In this study, evaporation from Lake Taihu, a large (area 2400 km) freshwater lake in the Yangtze River Delta, China, was simulated by the CLM4-LISSS offline lake model and estimated with pan evaporation data. Bothmethods were calibrated against lake evaporation measured direc...
