Day 4 - Evaporation and Transpiration

Evapotranspiration accounts for most of fifty percent of the terrestrial hydrological cycle. We illustrate here some ways to estimate it with the tools offered by the GEOframe system. 

• Momentum and water vapor transport in atmosphere (YouTube2020)

• Evaporation as Energy flow (YouTube2020)

• A little of exercise with Radiation

• Derivation of the simplified energy budget (a là Penman-Monteith after Schymanski and Or) 

• Simplifications relatives of PMSO (YouTube2020)

• Evaporation from soil (YouTube2020)

• Estimation of Soil Evaporation with Priestley-Taylor

• A simple representation on how transpiration works at plants level (from Khan Academy)
• Transpiration (YouTube2020)

• From leaves to canopies (YouTube2019 Video, YouTube2020)

• Estimation of Evaporation and Transpiration with Prospero
• Values of Wilting Point and Field Capacity parameters (Table 19)
• Values of depletion fraction parameter (Table 22)
