  1. CLIMATOLOGICAL METHODS OF ESTIMATING EVAPOTRANSPIRATION BY RADIATION METHOD

  2. EVAPOTRANSPIRATION • Evaporation accounts for the movement of water to the air from sources such as the soil, canopy interception, and water bodies. • Transpiration accounts for the movement of water within a plant and the subsequent loss of water as vapour through stomata in its leaves.

  3. (ET) is a term used to describe the sum of evaporation and plant transpiration from the earth's land surface to atmosphere. EVAPOTRANSPIRATION

  4. UNITS OF ET • It is normally expressed in millimeters (mm) per unit time. • The rate expresses the amount of water lost from a cropped surface in units of water depth. • The time unit can be an hour, day, decade, month or even an entire growing period or year.

  5. WHY IT SHOULD BE MEASURED • Evapotranspiration is one of most important factors from the agricultural engineering point of view. • In order to plan the proper irrigation scheduling at the upland field, to quantify the soil water consumption accurately by evapotranspiration is prerequisite. • Evapotranspiration is an important part of the water cycle.

  6. Factors affecting evapotranspiration • Weather parameters • Crop factors • Management and environmental conditions

  7. ET COMPUTED FROM METEOROLOGICAL DATA • Owing to the difficulty of obtaining accurate field measurements, ET is commonly computed from weather data. • A large number of empirical or semi-empirical equations have been developed for assessing crop or reference crop evapotranspiration from meteorological data.

  8. METEOROLOGICAL FACTORS DETERMINING ET • Solar radiation • Air temperature • Air humidity • Wind speed

  9. RADIATION METHOD • It is developed by Makkink in 1957. • Recommended where weather data is not sufficient to use penman method. ESSENTIAL CLIMATIC DATA: 1.Air temperature 2.Sunshine or radiation

  10. ESTIMATION OF ET0 • It is estimated from ET0=c (W – Rs) Where ET0=reference crop evapotranspiration, mm/day Rs =solar radiation at the ground level, mm/day W = weighing factor c = adjustment factor

  11. HARGREAVES RADIATION FORMULA • Solar Radiation data derived from air temperature differences where Ra =extraterrestrial radiation,Tmax= maximum air temperature,Tmin =minimum air temperature,kRs =adjustment coefficient.

  12. SOLAR OR SHORTWAVE RADIATION (RS) • As the radiation penetrates the atmosphere, some of the radiation is scattered, reflected or absorbed by the atmospheric gases, clouds and dust. • The amount of radiation reaching a horizontal plane is known as the solar radiation, Rs. • Because the sun emits energy by means of electromagnetic waves characterized by short wavelengths, solar radiation is also referred to as shortwave radiation.

  13. EXTRATERRESTRIAL RADIATION (Ra) • The radiation striking a surface perpendicular to the sun's rays at the top of the earth's atmosphere, called the solar constant, is about 0.082 MJ m-2 min-1. • The local intensity of radiation is, however, determined by the angle between the direction of the sun's rays and the normal to the surface of the atmosphere. • This angle will change during the day and will be different at different latitudes and in different seasons. • The solar radiation received at the top of the earth's atmosphere on a horizontal surface is called the extraterrestrial (solar) radiation, Ra.

  14. EMPIRICAL METHODOLOGY FOR ISLAND LOCATIONS • For island locations, where the land mass has a width perpendicular to the coastline of 20 km or less, the air masses influencing the atmospheric conditions are dominated by the adjacent water body in all directions. • The temperature method is not appropriate for this situation.

  15. . • Where radiation data from another location on the island are not available, a first estimate of the monthly solar average can be obtained from the empirical relation: Rs = 0.7 Ra - b (51) Where • Rs =solar radiation [MJ m-2 day-1],Ra =extraterrestrial radiation [MJ m-2 day-1],b = empirical constant, equal to 4 MJ m-2 day-1.

  16. . • This relationship is only applicable for low altitudes (from 0 to 100 m). • The empirical constant represents the fact that in island locations some clouds are usually present, thus making the mean solar radiation 4 MJ m-2 day-1 below the nearly clear sky envelope (0.7 Ra). • Local adjustment of the empirical constant may improve the estimation. • The method is only appropriate for monthly calculations. The constant relation between Rs and Ra does not yield accurate daily estimates.

  17. FOR KUMULUR CALCULATION OF Rs • Tmax = • Ra = • Tmin = • kRs =

  18. ESTIMATION OF ET0 • C= • W= • Rs= Then • ET0 =c (W – Rs) = = =

  19. . • The radiation method is considered superior to Blaney–Criddle method. • It has proved valuable particularly in humid regions.
