Study Of Sheltered Evaporation In Colombia, Guillermo Pardo-Bonilla
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Equations, tables, and graphs for estimating evaporation from sheltered evaporimeters were developed, based on data from 20 stations in Colombia.
Computer programs and plottings were the basic tools to work out the equations. The form of the simplified final equation is
Ev = kCVPDCT
in which
- Ev is the evaporation in millimeters per day
- K is a constant
- CVPD is the vapor pressure deficit coefficient
- CT is the temperature coefficient
Statistical parameters were determined to compare the measured evaporation with the Christiansen-Guillen formula and the newly developed formulas.
