Surface energy balance and micrometeorology Hornberger et al., 1998
2. Evapotranspiration • Evaporation: Liquid water is converted to water vapor and removed from evaporating surface (lake, river, pavement, soils, and wet vegetation) • Transpiration: Vaporization of liquid water contained in plant tissue and the vapor removal to the atmosphere through the stomata • Evaporation and transpiration occur simultaneously and there is no easy way of distinguishing between the two processes. They are often measurement together. • Potential ET (PET): The evapotranspiration of a surface with optimal water condition (both on the surface and in the root zone) for E and T. It depends on micrometeorological condition, as well as the surface characteristics. It is the largest water availability (or loss) from a vegetated land surface under given climate and weather condition but not limited by soil moisture. • Reference ET is the PET of the reference (clipped) grass (h= 0.12m) or the (full-covered) alfafa (h>0.3 m).
Quantifying Evapotranspiration • Coupling of energy balance and water balance equations • Water balance method • Energy balance method • (e.g., bowen ratio - energy balance) • Eddy covariance method • Scintillometry method • Aerodynamic method • Combination approach (energy balance + aerodynamic) • Penman-Monteith equation
Water balance: Evaporation pan Evaporation Pan -- In hydrologic terms, a pan used to hold water during observations for the determination of the quantity of evaporation at a given location. Such pans are of varying sizes and shapes, the most commonly used being circular or square. 121cm diameter x 24cm deep Write water balance equation for the pan. What variables do we measure to determine E What do you think of the pan evaporation measurement? Can it be a good estimate for lake E? Can you think of a better way to install evaporation pan? http://www.ametsoc.org/amsedu/WES/WESSlides/WESThumbnailHyperlinks/ch10/s041evaporation_pan.htm Data: http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/htmlfiles/westevap.final.html
Water balance: Lysimeter Left and center, construction of the two large weighing lysimeters at KREC began in 1986. Each lysimeter consists of an underground chamber that houses a balancebeam weighing system with a rectangular “flower pot” measuring 6.5 feet wide by 13 feet long by 6.5 feet deep. Right, researchers enter the completed lysimeter. http://calag.ucop.edu/0502AMJ/pdfs/Lysimeters.pdf
The Kearney lysimeters have been in constant use since 1987. One lysimeter measures water use in peaches (top), the other ‘Thompson Seedless’ grapes ( bottom). • The lysimeters have provided more accurate evapotranspiration values for peach trees and grape vines, information necessary in irrigation management decisions that ultimately affect plant health and fruit quality.
Energy Balance: Bowen Ratio (EBBR) 5 over semiarid area, 0.5 over grassland, 0.2 over irrigated orchards, and 0.1 over sea EBBR
Eddy covariance method http://horton.engr.uconn.edu/gamboa/images/IMG_0796-1.jpg ET from EBBR is usually 10% larger than that from Eddy covariance method
Scintillometry method • Measurement of spatially average fluxes of sensible heat and water vapor (evaporation) on km scale • Measurements of spatially avergae rainfall rate Path length L, Aperture D, Wavelength l
Aerodynamic approach ρa is air density, cp is the heat capacity of air, ra is the aerodynamic resistance, T0 is the aerodynamic surface temperature, Ta is the near-surface air temperature, e0 is the vapor pressure (Pa) at the aerodynamic surface, ea is the vapor pressure at near surface, γ is the psychrometric constant (≈ 66 Pa/K)
Combination approach: PM equation Penman equation Penman-Monteith equation γ is the psychrometric constant (≈ 66 Pa/K)

Components of the SEB at the grassland site using Bowen Ratio ET system. Left side shows a wet day (JD 233) and right side shows a dry day (JD 254). Hours from midnight are plotted on the x-axis, with time shifted one hour forward from the solar cycle due to daylight savings time. Small and Kurc 2003
ET in this semi-arid region is only related to top 5 cm soil moisture and to root zone soil moisture as other climate regions Kurc and Small, 2004
