Hence, meteorological budgeting techniques have been used for estimating soil water losses. However, monthly or weekly values of the climatic elements frequently mask daily extremes during the course of a season and thereby bias the final result. Any analysis designed for greater accuracy of determining soil moisture losses must, of necessity, be based on daily, hourly or even shorter measurement periods. The objectives of this study were to: (l) establish a relationship for estimating potential evapotranspiration with a U.S. Class A evaporation pan and correlate these data with micrometeorological measurements taken over short time inter- vals, and (2) improve and test an explicit aerodynamic evapor- ation model based on the concept of turbulent diffusion. A field study was conducted over a short grass covered area with a fetch to height ratio of 30:1 at the Michigan State University Soil Science Research Farm. Soil properties Ghassem Asrar measured in this study were: (1) gravimetric moisture content, (2) soil moisture potential by tensiometers, (3) bulk density, (4) soil moisture—matric potential by pressure plate, and (5) profiles of soil temperature. A U.S. Class A pan was used in conjunction with a moni— toring system based on a stress-strain concept to measure water losses from the pan over short periods. Profiles of air temperature, wind-speed and absolute humidity were obtained by measuring and recording the values of these parameters every two minutes at five different eleva- tions. These data were later smoothed, combined and averaged for ten—minute periods. Gravimetrically determined soil moisture and soil moisture potentials, measured by tensiometer, indicated that the evapo- transpiration under the irrigated treatments of this study was at its potential rate during the entire season. The rate of evapotranspiration under such conditions is controlled primarily by the weather conditions. However, under non-irrigated treat— ments and in general, in the absence of adequate soil moisture, the evaporation rate is controlled either by soil and/or weather. Cummulative pan evaporation measured over periods of a day indicated linear, but different, increases with time for all the periods of this study. Simple correlation coefficients between the cummulative pan evaporation, pan temperature, air temperature and wind-speed were positive and highly signifi- cant at the one percent level of probability. A highly significant but negative correlation coefficient was obtained between cummulative pan evaporation and atmospheric humidity. Ghassem Asrar Air temperature profiles indicated, at some time, the presence of an unstable atmospheric condition. This usually occurred late at night or very early in the morning but changed to a more stable condition due to an increase in air temperature during the daylight hours. Profiles of wind-speed showed the formation of turbulent boundary layers above the ground surface and an increase in their thickness with time during the day. A graphical pro— cedure was used to obtain the aerodynamic parameters related to these profiles. Profiles of absolute humidity usually indicated a gradual decrease in humidity with elevation above the ground. This relationship was reversed for late evening and early morning hOurs. Detailed analyses of temperature, wind—speed and humidity profiles indicated that the classical equations of heat, momen- tum and water vapor transport should be modified to better represent these phenomena under a wide range of atmospheric conditions. The profiles of air temperature, wind—speed and absolute humidity were used to study the effectiveness of a defined stability parameter, S, and the functions, f(S), in adjusting for the influence of atmospheric stability upon the transport of water vapor. The results indicated that the model proposed in this study, proved to be more accurate than the original equation of Thornthwaite-Holzman in approximating evapotranspir- ation fromailysimeter and evaporation from a Class A pan over short periods.

Frequent soil moisture measurements are required if the status of soil moisture conditions are to be maintained near such levels. Water stored in the soil and additions of irrigation water can be managed efficiently only if the expected evapotranspiration and other water losses are known. There is a continuing need for improving the methodology of measuring soil moisture losses. The soil moisture losses can be obtained by direct measurement or computation of the water vapor flux to the atmosphere. Generally, measurement of evapotranspiration rates are obtained as follows: (1) the direct measurement of water losses from soil and vegetated surfaces by obtaining differences in soil water content for a given time period, (2) the transformation of water loss measurements made for non-vegetated surfaces (i.e., evaporation pans and tanks), and (3) empirical formulae based on climatic data. Often because of difficulties in obtaining accurate direct measurements of soil moisture losses under field condition, the second and third approaches are preferred above the first. 2 It is generally recognized that climate is one of the most important factors determining the amount of water loss by evapotranspiration, particularly when crops are grown under optimum growth conditions. Hence, meteorological budgeting techniques have been used, with some degree of success, for estimating soil water losses. However, monthly values of the important climatic elements frequently mask daily extremes during the course of a season and thereby bias the final result. Any analysis designed for greater accuracy of determining soil water losses should be based on daily, hourly, or even shorter, periodical weather observations. The objectives of this study were to establish a rela- tionship for estimating potential evapotranspiration from a U.S. Class A evaporation pan and to correlate these data with micro-meteorological data on a short-term basis. A final objective was to modify and test an explicit aerodynamic evaporation model based on the concept of turbulent diffusion. '57 LITERATURE REVIEW Many aspects of water resource planning are not as critical in humid areas as in the more arid regions. However, pressures on the currently adequate water resources of humid areas are increasing. With greater competition for these resources, there will be greater demand for increasing the efficiency of their use, particularly as use is related to water loss. At least 90 percent of water used for irrigation in the State of Michigan is lost to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration while consumptive losses for most other water uses is less than 10 percent (1,57). Evapotranspiration rates are minimal in areas under water conservation practices and maximal in areas of wastewater disposal (81). The rates of evapotranspiration and the factors affecting them have been the subject of much work and research. Present methods of measuring or estimating evapotranspiration are in part extensions or modifications of methods for measuring evaporation since the two are similar physical processes. The soil is the source of water for transpiring plants. Hence, soil moisture measurements are still an important supple- ment to evapotranspiration studies. Any soil parameter such as texture, structure, or pore space which affects the conduc— tivity, hydraulic gradient, vapor pressure, or vapor diffusion near the soil surface will indirectly affect the rate of evaporation from the soil surface (69). The water potential and hydraulic conductivity of the soil influence the rate at which a plant transpires (87). If the soil potential is high, the soil can supply water to the plant roots nearly at the same rate as it is transpired by the plant. Thus, in a moist soil, the transpiration is at potential rate and is primarily determined by weather conditions (73). The classic definition of potential evapotranspiration is "evaporation from an extended surface of a short green crop, actively growing, completely shading the ground, of uniform height and not short of water." Provided that all restrictive conditions are fulfilled, the definition suggests that potential evapotranspiration represents the maximum possible rate of water loss from a vegetative-covered surface (94,97). VanBavel (93) redefines potential evapotranspiration for any vegetation in terms of appropriate meteorogical variables and aerodynamic properties of the cover suggesting that "when the surface is wet and imposes no restriction upon the flow of water vapor, the potential value of evapotranspiration is reached." For soil moisture contents equivalent to or greater than the field capacity, the evaporation is considered as I . potential evapotranspiration (16,26). As the soil dries out, the hydraulic conductivity decreases and eventually the soil cannot supply sufficient water to the plant. Consequently, the actual transpiration falls below the potential one (69). Therefore, when the soil is unable to supply sufficient water to maintain potential evapotranspiration rate under a given set of atmospheric conditions, the rate of evapotranspiration is controlled by soil properties (55,77). The ratio between potential evapotranspiration and actual evapotranspiration for an area is related to the rate of moisture supply to the soil surface (81). Soil moisture measurements are generally adequate for long—time evapotrans- piration averages, but unfortunately, technical difficulties prevent the use of soil moisture depletion measurements for short-time evapotranspiration studies (28,87). Measured values of evapotranspiration obtained by monitor- ing soil moisture over a period of years also show considerable variation in standard error of determination (86). This investigation shows an average year to year variation of 111% of the average mean evapotranspiration from the same crop at the same location. Hence, the error of 111% for predicting future evapotranspiration from soil sampling appears to be about the same as the error to be expected from estimates obtained based on other empirical methods. Tensiometers have proven to be very suitable for monitoring the soil moisture in coarse textured soils (21). This is true primarily because of the larger amount of available soils moisture that is held by the soil in the measurable tension range of these instruments. There are two principal factors associated with the influence of cover crops on evapotranspiration (87). The first is related to light reflection. Reflection of light from a bare soil especially when wet, is usually lower than that from a dense crop canopy. Based on the reflection alone, evapotranspiration would normally be expected to increase as the percent of cover decreased. The second factor is associ- ated with the relative evaporation rates from a bare soil and a transpiring crop. Evaporation from moist bare soils decreases rapidly one or two days after irrigation or rainfall; however, soil water storage usually is sufficient to maintain trans- piration from the soil for a considerable period of time (26,55). Consequently, evapotranspiration increases as the percent cover increases relative to evaporation from a bare soil. Many empirical formulas relating climatological measure— ments and evapotranspiration have been developed. These formulae were based on the empirical relations obtained between the observed evaporation and climatic data for a specific crOp and region. Therefore, in order to be able to use them in another region, they must be tested and adjusted to the condi- tions of the new area. Empirical methods have the greatest usefulness when correlated with potential evapotranspiration (39,85). Empirical methods can be grouped into four classes: (1) those depending primarily on the relation of evapotranspir- ation to radiation, (2) temperature methods, (3) humidity methods, and (4) evaporimeters. One of the earlier writers on the subject of evapotrans- piration was Dalton (14), who showed that the rate of evapora- tion was proportional to the difference between the water vapor pressure at the evaporating surface and in the atmosphere. This principal, based on the vapor transfer concept, has been used in all of the evaporation and evapo- transpiration methods developed since that time. In 1942, Blaney and Morin (4) published an empirical formula for estimating monthly pan evaporation or evapotrans- piration as a function of monthly mean temperatures, monthly percent of annual daytime hours, and monthly mean relative humidity. This formula was later modified by Criddle (13), by omitting the humidity factor and introducing a new constant of proportionality into the equation. This new formula also gave an estimate of the monthly mean evapotranspiration rate. However, Blaney (3) has suggested that this formula can also be used for estimating pan evaporation with the use of appro— priate coefficients. In 1956, Hargreaves (37) proposed an empirical method of estimating pan evaporation from a study of temperature, humidity and monthly daytime relations. This model was later tested by a number of his graduate students (38,63) and was considered to be fairly good for normal wind velocities under a wide range of climatic conditions. In 1968, an empirical method of estimating pan evaporation from climatic data was proposed by Christiansen (10). Later Christiansen and Hargreaves (11) developed a series of formulas for converting pan evaporation directly to potential evapotranspiration and calculating potential evapotranspiration from climatic data. The basic deficiencies of any empirical approach are generally estimates of evapotranspiration over very short time periods (8). Evaporimeters measure the drying ability of the air. Evaporation from a pan or free water surface is a physical process that depends on the availability of energy to evaporate the water. The rate of evaporation is, therefore, largely dependent on climatic parameters such as solar radia- tion, air temperature, wind velocity and relative humidity (11,44). Meteorological factors have similar influences on evaporation from free water, soil surfaces and transpiration from plant surfaces (31). The major differences between these forms of water loss are; (l) changing characteristics of the plant surfaces during growing season, (2) availability of water for evaporation, and (3) differences in energy absorp- tion characteristics. Thus, it appears that evaporimeters could only provide an integrated measurement of complex meteorological factors affecting evapotranspiration. Among the pans and tanks tested, the U.S. Weather Bureau Class A pan provides the best correlation with, and the most practical and economical method of estimating potential evapotranspiration (5,71,78). Class A pan evaporation data provide a useful general reference over a wide range of climatic circumstances (29). With measurements from a care- fully sited Class A evaporation pan in a locality, it is possible to calculate the cumulative evapotranspiration in a simple way (41). The pan coefficient, Kp, is given by the ratio ETp/Epan, where ETp is potential evapotranspiration and Epan is pan evaporation. The coefficient is used in practices as an "adjusting factor" for pan losses to give an estimate of potential evapotranspiration (18,31). This ratio was found to change during the course of the growing season, primarily during the following two periods: (1) from planting until 5 to 6 weeks of age, during which evapotrans- piration is controlled by moisture content of the upper soil layers, and (2) from the beginning of flowering, evapotrans— piration increases rapidly as the plant cover the ground, reaches a maximum at peak flowering, and then decreases until harvest (8,34). The coefficient Kp also depends on the type, size and environment of the pan (100). The use of a single ratio to estimate water requirements using Class A pan data will introduce only small errors. These generally are lower than or comparable to the uncertainties in water requirement values obtained from intensive soil moisture measurements in gravimetric methods (32). Measurements of Class A pan evaporation losses from different parts of the United States suggest a standard deviation of 10% for annual evaporative losses within regional zones (79). One of the shortcomings of using pans for estimating evapotranspiration is the formation of surface films compressed sufficiently to reduce the evaporation rate. The rather large reduction of evaporation, up to 20%, by naturally occurring surface films indicates that their frequency of occurrence and areal extent may need to be estimated and, if possible, taken into account when evaluating the evaporation from a pan in which the surface is assumed to be contaminated (15). However, the major problem in using the Class A pan is that, 10 the time period for which reasonable estimates can be made is relatively long, particularly in humid regions where climate is variable (85). In spite of the limitations, Class A evaporation pans do provide fairly satisfactory indices of evapotranspiration especially where installation and operating standards are complied with (11). Physics of evaporation is complexed by energy exchanges and transformations, some being controlled by aerodynamic factors. Both energy exchanges and aerodynamic transfers are essentially meteorological; thus, the maximum rate of evaporation is determined primarily by climatological factors (48,77). Micrometeoroloqical methods provide a measurement of the flux density of water vapor in the boundary layer of the atmosphere. Though these methods have limitations as to where and how they can be used as well as instrumental diffi- culties, they have important advantages. When applicable, micrometeoroloqical methods can measure the potential evapo- transpiration over very short periods (66). Evapotranspiration correlates best with meteorological elements when the crop is transpiring at the potential rate. This rate will not be reached until the crop has attained full ground cover and is adequately supplied with water (39). Micrometeorological methods in greatest use are the energy balance method, aerodynamic method and a combination of the two. In the energy balance method the principle of conservation of energy to the surface of the ground gives some basic equation that can help us to understand evapotranspiration (74). All energy ll arriving at the soil and plant surfaces must be accounted for in this approach (64). Jensen and Haise (43) developed a formula for estimating evapotranspiration using solar radia- tion and climatic data. This model has given fairly good results where the radiation and heat flux data are available. The upward flux of water vapor in the surface layer of the atmosphere is the resultant of turbulent diffusion carried along a mean gradient of water vapor concentration (23,81). Therefore, evaporation and hence evapotranspiration can be estimated based on the vapor flow rate from the evaporating surface. This may be done by the use of aerodynamic methods, either implicitly as a bulk aerodynamic method or explicitly as a profile method. The profile method will be presented in more detail in the following section. In the combination method, one energy balance equation and one aerodynamic equation are combined to produce an equation that can be used to estimate potential evapotranspiration. In 1948, Penman (65) was the first to develop a formula based on this concept. Although his formula is considered to give the best results, it is seldom used because of its complexity and the availa- bility of several parameters required in the model. THEORETICAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT Recent advances in understanding of boundary layer phenomena have provided potential means of monitoring evapo- transpiration by measuring water vapor transfer into the atmosphere. In the case of air flow over land surface, the lower atmosphere may be divided into two layers (27). First, is the laminar layer at the surface. The thickness of this layer is of the order of several millimeters; and temperature, humidity and wind velocity vary almost linearly with height. Transfer of heat, water vapor and momentum through this layer are essentially molecular processes. Second, is the turbulent boundary layer with varying thickness depending on the level of turbulence. In this layer wind velocity, water vapor and temperature vary, approximately, linearly with logarithm of height. Transfer of heat, vapor and momentum through this layer are turbulent processes (74). The capacity for water movement in the processes of turbulent transfer are more than 100 times greater than the molecular transfer processes (81). The process of evaporation and diffusion of water vapor into the earth's turbulent air stream, above or downwind from free liquid or saturated solid surfaces is practically one of gaseous diffusion and can be represented by 93=—§—(Kxiq)+%[xy%g)+i[x 3A.) . . . . [1] 3x 82 Z 32 12 13 where q is the water vapor concentration, K's are effective coefficients of diffusion, t the time and dq/dt denotes the change in vapor concentration with time. If u, v and w are the components of the velocity and q is assumed to be a function of x, y, z and t, the total differential can be represented by $149.21 .33 ‘23 is dt 3t+u8x+vay+waz ......[2] However, according to Sutton (82), evaporation from a saturated soil or reservoir which is part of a very large homogenous area depends only on height and time.

[4] where E/pa is the integration constant proportional to water vapor flux (E) divided by density of air (pa) at the surface (6). The quantity of aq/at is always limited under actual conditions. Thus for sufficiently small Z, such as the one considered in micrometeorogogical studies, the first (integral) term in Equation [4] is negligibly small when compared with the remaining two terms in the equation. Therefore, it reduces to a E=-paKz-5-g-..............[5] The negative sign represents the downgradient flux of water vapor. Other researchers have used a different approach to derive the equation of vertical flux of water vapor based on 14 the Reynold's formulation of turbulent stress. The final results are the same as Equation [5]. If eddies of trans— ferred substances can be measured in their upward movement, an analysis of the resulting air layer can be considered. Within the limits of this layer the evaporation is exclusively determined by the value of turbulent exchange coefficient, and the vertical gradient of transferred substances (6). Therefore, the rate of evaporation could be obtained from data on the humidity profile in the surface air layer, pro- vided that the value of turbulent exchange coefficient for water vapor is known. But, since the laws governing the turbulent motion are extremely complicated, there is no accurate, theoretical method for determining the turbulent exchange coefficient in the atmosphere. Hence, many investi- gators have made extensive use of approximations obtained by processing various empirical data in a variety of ways in attempts to model these meteorological phenomena. The substan— tial variability of the transfer coefficients with landscape and atmospheric conditions permits the use of such modeling attempts (70). The increase in wind speed with height over an extended uniform surface can be represented by _ U* Z—d U — T? 1n 20 . . . . . . . . . . [6] when the atmosphere is near a state of neutral stability (66). In Equation [6], U is the wind velocity at height Z above ground and Z0 is the roughness coefficient. The displacement height, d, represents the effective raising of the boundary due to 15 roughness, k is VonKarman constant (k=0.4l), and U* is the friction velocity which represents the characteristic velocity in a turbulent boundary layer. The magnitude of U* is determined by 2. .. . .. . .. . .. . .[7] where r is the shear stress, the flux of horizontal momentum transferred vertically and absorbed by the ground and assumed to be constant in the lower layer of atmosphere. paiS the density of air. Based on the assumption of constancy of shear stress with height, we can define (3:):ng—‘zi............[81 where Knlis the transport coefficient for the momentum and frequently known as eddy diffusivity. Combining Equations [6], [7] and [8] yields Km=kU*(Z—d) ............[9] The effect of aerodynamic roughness on turbulent transfer of moisture and energy from vegetative surfaces is an important factor in evapotranspiration. In general, evapotranspiration increases with vegetation height due to increased roughness and zero-plane displacement (d) at a given windspeed, which in turn increases the coefficient of turbulent exchange (74,84). Reducing the turbulent transfer offers some potential for increasing water use efficiency because it is the linking mechanism between crop surface and bulk atmosphere (36). When thermal stratification prevails, the logarithmic wind profile, Equation [6], no longer holds (83). In this 16 case, buoyancy due to temperature gradient in the atmosphere boundary layer also plays a major role in the transport and mixing of the air and entities contained therein (74). Therefore, since turbulence can either be generated thermally or mechanically, both temperature and wind speed play an important role in stability of air (59). Generally, the temperature induced eddies are more efficient in transport and mixing, than mechanical eddies (61). A convenient stability parameter for use in this area is the Richardson number, Ri. It approximates the ratio between the forces producing thermal and mechanical turbulences. In gradient form it appears as (All Ri=3—-3—z——...........[101 T (53—312 where g is the acceleration due to gravity, T—temperature, aT/BZ—temperature gradient and aU/aZ-wind velocity gradient. Under neutral or adiabatic atmospheric conditions (Ri=0), the transfer mechanisms for heat and water vapor are identical for freely evaporating surfaces (23,24). Therefore, the eddy diffusivities for momentum, heat and water vapor are identical (Km=Kh=Kw) and all could be obtained from Equation [9]. Under most conditions, however, adiabatic or near neutral conditions are seldom realized, and predictions of all three fluxes be- come complex. In an unstable atmospheric condition (i.e., lapse, aT/BZ negative), the profile of wind, humidity and temperature remain similar and ratio of Kh/Km, Kw/Km, hence Kh/Kw remain constant (unity) for R1 ranging from 0.0 to -0.1 (99). However, for very unstable conditions, R1 is quite dependent 17 on the wind profile, i.e., Ri is less than —0.las the wind gradient diminishes, and the ratio Kh/Kw will depart smoothly from unity and becomes greater than one (12,49). In stable atmospheric conditions (i.e., inversion, aT/az positive), the eddy diffusion of momentum, heat and water vapor is also constant up to Ri of +0.1 (47). But, at Richardson numbers greater than +0.1,Kh/Kw will be less than unity (58, 98). The influence of atmospheric conditions represented by Richardson numbers are shown schematically below. very A very unstable unstable neutral stable stable 12 is negative A: = 0 93 is positive 2 z z Kh Kh K —>10 ——-=1.0 _h Km Km Km< 10 K Kh K —h>1.0 “=1” i<10 Kw Kw KW ¢_———__———— -0.1 0.0 +0.1 ———————————-+ Ri 18 Under conditions of veryistrong stability, it has been suggested that turbulence changes character to gravity waves (49). At very strong stabilities a value of (Riimax is reached where turbulent motion ceases entirely. Turbulence is then replaced by laminar flow governed by molecular rather than turbulent diffusion (59). Evaporation under stable condition decreases rapidly with increasing Ri. This decrease is constant throughout turbulence decay and indicates that R1 is no longer a useful stability criterion in profile equations (12). It appears that the largest departure of Kh/Kw from unity will occur when either temperature or humidity is passive additive or the temperature gradient is of opposite sign to the humidity gradient (95). since the logarithmic law does not fit the wind profile under non—neutral conditions, various proposals have been made to modify it. In 1935, Rossby and Montgomery (75) tried to implement Prantdl's views on the semi—empirical theory of a boundary layer problem and develop a relation for the coefficient of turbulent mixing under adiabatic conditions. They assumed that under adiabatic temperature distribution the mixing length in the lower layer of the atmosphere varied linearly with height, reaching a value proportional to the roughness of underlying surface at 2:0 1 = k (Z + 20) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [11] where l is the mixing length, Z0 is the roughness coefficient and k is the non-dimensional VonKarman constant (k=0.4l). In the mixing length theory, it has been assumed that a discrete 19 mass of fluid with a given property leaves a level and retains this property for some characteristic vertical distance before mixing and becomes once again indistinguish- able from its mean surrounding. Rossby and Montgomery assumed that the influence of stability on exchange is determined at a given elevation by the Richardson number and is not depen- dent on the Ri numbers corresponding to other elevations (75). Based on this assumption, and for stable atmospheric conditions they derived the general equation Km = kU*Z (1+BRi)'% . . . . . . . . [12] where Km is a function of Ri and B=9. The equivalent form of this expression proposed by Holzman (40) for unstable cases is Km = kU*Z (1—BRi)+% - - - - - - . - [13] Measurements by Panofsky, Blackadar and McVehil (60) and observations of temperature fluctuations by Priestly (70) lead the way to deriving a modified equation which covered a broader range of stability. Such an equation was first sug- gested by Ellison (27) and is introduced in the literature under the name KEYPS (47). The KEYPS relationship for a stable atmospheric condition is Km = kU*Z (1+BRi)-% . . . . . . . . [14] The equivalent KEYPS equation for an unstable condition is Km = kU*Z (1—BRi)+% . . . . . . . . [15] where B takes the same value for both stable and unstable conditions at a given location. 20 Morgan et. al. (52) suggest that, for a wide range of stability, the general form of the equation should be Km= kUkZ (1+BlRil)in. . . . . . . . [16] which offers the best mathematical representation of Km(Ri) relationship. However, for their data obtained at the University of California at Davis, the authors suggest that the exponent n apparently needs to be 33% higher than the (a) power proposed by Ellison as used in KEYPS profile. On the other hand, the exponent of (%) suggested by Holzman (40) was too high for their data. The Davis data indicate one could use a B value significantly smaller than 9.0, originally proposed by Holzman, to extend the usefulness of the expression over a range of R1 from —l.0 to +1.0. However, this is at the expense of errors in Km of up to 10% to 15% in the zones of Ri around -0.1 to +0.1 (52).

'vv MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted at the Michigan State University Soil Science Research Farm. The farm is located on the corner of South Hagadorn Road and Mt. Hope Highway, two miles southeast of the center of the campus. A small weather station was established on grass plots in the mid- section of the northern portion of the farm, Figure l. The fetch to height ratio for the eight—meter level of measure- ment was approximately 30:1 in the west to southwest direction. The soil type for this study, according to Ingham County Soil Survey Report (92) and on site inspection by Dr. D. Mokma, soil survey and classification specialist in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, was Metea loamy sand, hereafter referred to as MtB. Typically, the surface layer of MtB series is a dark, loamy sand, 10 cm thick and a B—horizon about 85 cm thick. The upper part of the B horizon is yellowish brown to dark brown and very friable, loamy sand. The lower part is yellowish brown, loose sand. Permeability is very rapid in the upper part of MtB soil and moderate in the lower part. The available water holding capacity of this series is described as moderate. 24 IIIr 25 .Enmm mocofiom HHom sz osu co muflm Hmucosfluwaxo wnu mo Emuwmww owumsocom .H ouswflm (V \V zmoo zmoo mmHQEMm Hfiom MV U I ucmfimflsqm 89mm spam mmfiuom am so Amy mowmm censum Lo defluflmom .m ouswflm 3v IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ’I IIIk I! cowumufloxm Hmcmfiw .AIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 13 So omuq as mum Anli [Wu EU WHNQ 34 materials gave a good, short and long term stability to the gages and also protected them against the outdoor environment.

RESULTS AND DISCUSS ION I. Evapotranspiration from Soil Soil moisture status was monitored daily at four different locations in the vicinity of the weather station both gravi- metrically and by tensiometers during the course of the study, see Figure l. The gravimetric moisture determinations for the period of this study are presented in Table 1. The results show changes in soil moisture content with time. The magnitude of changes are greater in non-irrigated areas than in the irrigated areas. This general pattern holds for the entire period of study. Hence, it was not possible to obtain a meaningful water loss relationship over short time periods in a given treatment. This difficulty was due to frequent changes in soil moisture content due to intermittent rainfall which was received during the course of this study. The rainfall distribution and changes in soil moisture potential, measured by tensiometers, for irrigated corn and soybean treatments are presented in Figure 8. According to these data, the lowest soil moisture potentials for corn and soybeans were -44 and -39 centibars, respectively. These values were obtained in September 8, 1980 late in the growing season. Another record low potential was -38 centibars 43 44 (mo) IIBJUIBH .muoaa cmoahow can cuoo woumwfiupw 2H cognac mpouoBOAmdou he powwowwcw mm common wcHBOHw onu mcwnsc msumum ousumfioe Hwom can cowuanfiuumwc Hammcewm .w wuswflm mama 23 as Na 83 83 a; :3 a; m3 m3 is BS Eb. — _ - u — _ — _ _ _ q _ _ I N I b .. - .. a.» .s 2 . .. m. a .. a. a ., n. _. o. . . \o\ u. , x ._ Sou - o. u x . r. ._ 1 1.. , . .. . . 3 u .. . .. m... . 1 .

In spite of these record lows, tensiometer data do not show potentials lower than -50 centibars at any time during the growing season. This limit is considered to be safe for the crOps growing in medium textured soils used in this study (21). Hence, during the course of this study the soil moisture level did not impose any restriction on the rate of evapotranspiration from the irrigated treatments. This supposition was supported by measuring the water holding capacity of the Metea loamy sand at different tension levels in the laboratory, Table 2. From the data in Table l and Figure 8, one can conclude that the soil moisture contents in the irrigated corn and soybean treatments were greater than the equivalent moisture content held in the soil at -33 centi— bars. Therefore, evapotranspiration from these treatments was at its potential rate during the entire season (16,97). The rate of evapotranspiration under this condition is determined primarily by the available energy and indicated by weather parameters (73). However, this was not the case in non-irrigated treatments. Generally, in these treatments soil moisture contents varied between the equivalent moisture potentials held at —33 to -750 centibars, respectively, see Figure 2. On one occasion (July 24) the soil moisture content in a soybean area fell below the equivalent moisture content held at ~1500 centibars, normally considered as the end-point for moisture availability to plants.

II. Evapotranspiration from Class A Pan A specially modified U.S. Weather Bureau, Class A, Evaporation Pan was used to monitor quantities of water loss from the pan over short time periods. Two-minute intervals were selected for measuring the amount of water lost from the pan. However, during smoothing and processing, the data were combined and averaged over periods of ten minutes. The final results are presented, as mm of water loss from the pan in ten-minute intervals, in column 21 of Tables B—l thru B-7 in Appendix B. These data can also be presented as linear regression equations for each date of measurement, Table 3. The good fit of these regression equations is indicated by the coefficients of determination, r2. The changes in slopes and intercepts of these equations represent the variation in cumulative pan evaporation under different weather conditions on different dates. Generally, if cumula— tive evaporation started slowly early in the morning and increased gradually during the day, the regression equations had a small slope coefficient and a negative intercept (see regression equations for July 25 and 30). On the other hand, if cumulative evaporation increased uniformly with time, these equations had a larger slope coefficient and a positive intercept (see regression equation for July 24). Similar 50 Table 3. Regression equations representing cumulative Pan evaporation over short periods at different dates.

K: II cumulative Pan evaporation, mm 51 expressions have been established and reported for seasonal cumulative pan evaporation based on daily or weekly observa- tions (8,62). But, due to limited number of measurements and the variation of weather, the quality of such regression equations indicated by r2 is not as good as the ones obtained on the short time basis for daily observations in this study. This is also indicated by a decrease in the magnitude of r2 when cumulative pan evaporation from all dates in this study were used to obtain a regression fit, Table 3. In order to be able to use such equations more reliably in a given region, similar experiments should be conducted for more than one growing season to include all possible variations due to changes in weather (10,11,25,41). Table 4 represents the simple correlation coefficients (r), between pan evaporation rates, pan temperature, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed on different dates. All correlation coefficients, with exception of the one between cumulative pan evaporation and relative humidity on August 7, were highly significant at the one percent level of probability. However, the strongest correlation was obtained between pan evaporation rates and pan temperature. The correlation coefficients obtained between pan evaporation and air temperature, measured at 50 cm above the ground surface, were generally smaller than the ones given for pan temperature. Hence, water temperature is more representative of water loss from the pan than air temperature at a given period, Figures 9, 10 and 11.

They all show pan temperature increases more than air and soil temperature over the same period. This is related to the limited and discontinuous mass of water in the pan and the low reflection of solar radiation from the water surface (18). This increase in water temperature contributes to a greater loss of water from the pan and thereby causes an overestimation in pan evaporation as compared to potential evaporation from soil (41,100). A comparison between profiles of air and soil temperature indicated that generally air temperature was lower than soil temperature during the course of this study, see Tables B-l through B-7. This was caused by the replacement of normal, warm summer air as indicated by U.S. Weather Service data for the months of July and August, by a cool air front. For example, the cooler air temperature on July 24 was caused by lower than normal air temperature for that time of year. The data indicated an average July temperature of 21.10°C and the average temperature for July 24, 1980 was 18.06°C. The presence of a turfgrass cover acted as an insulating layer, which helped in maintaining the higher soil temperature (74,87). The only non-significant correlation coefficient found between pan evaporation rate and relative humidity, measured at 50 cm above the ground surface, was for the data of August 7, 1980. These data were obtained during the night and early hours of the morning. Small quantities of water loss and mild changes in atmospheric humidity during these hours probably contributed to the weak correlation. The 57 rest of the coefficients indicate a very strong negative correlation between pan evaporation rates and relative humidity. The coefficients between pan evaporation and wind- speed are also highly significant. However, the magnitude of these coefficients are smaller compared to the other positive relationships in the table. This is probably due to rapid changes in wind-speed during the day. If these changes had not been considered and accounted for, probably signifi— cant correlations would not have been obtained between pan evaporation and wind—speed (29). Such cases have been reported in the literature (39,42). In all of these reports, researchers were not able to establish any significant relationship between pan evaporation and wind—speed. This study indicates that the absence of such a relationship was caused by the use of a single daily averaged value for the wind—speed. Obviously, this cannot be the representative of the influence of wind-Speed on pan evaporation over long periods. In the process of relating pan evaporation (Epan) to reference evapotranspiration (ETO), the climate and environ- ment of the pan should be considered. Such considerations are usually made by introducing a pan coefficient (Kp). This coefficient is defined as the ratio of potential evapotrans— piration (ETp) to pan evaporation (Epan). Unfortunately, it was not possible to establish a reliable pan coefficient for this study because of the uncertainties in the soil moisture data. However, values of this coefficient were obtained 58 m omou moHHm> oHoE Ho E 00 E «ill . .... 1.12:!“ can oommnsm mum QOHO coosu UGHB 00.0 00.0 00.0 000H 00.0 00.0 00.0 00H 00.0 00.0 00.0 0H 00.0 00.0 00.0 H 00.0 00.0 00.0 000H 00.0 00.0 00.0 00H 00.0 00.0 00.0 0H 0e.0 00.0 00.0 H 00.0 00.0 00.0 000H 00.0 00.0 00.0 00H 0k.0 00.0 00.0 0H 00.0 0e.0 00.0 H 00.0 00.0 00.0 000H 0e.0 00.0 00.0 00H 00.0 0e.0 00.0 0H 00.0 00.0 0e.0 H 0eA onlov 00v HEV soHHmm msw anm ESHUoS 30H 00 oocmHch vamuHUHEDm o>HpmHom meHm enmzecHs ooHo soHHmm MHU CH com um omoo .AmemH wuHUHEDQ o>HpoHoH .mHo>oo 0cSOH0 pconomec H00 com 4 mmMHO H00 H a omoo moHHm> oHoE Ho E 00 23:1“:...—:3:3:22.:2.23:3...333Ih1] 4 com mono cooHo ooostm >HQ 0cH3 00.0 00.0 00.0 000H m0.0 O0.0 om.O OOH mHOA O0.0 mm.O me.O OH maoeum HH0> 00.0 00.0 00.0 H 0e.0 0e.0 00.0 000H Ok.O m0.0 O0.0 OOH mHO mas m0.0 O0.0 mm.O OH acounm 00.0 00.0 00.0 H 00.0 00.0 00.0 000H O0.0 mk.O mO.O OOH mOOnOON 0e.0 0e.0 00.0 0H oumuocoz 00.0 00.0 00.0 H 00.0 00.0 0e.0 000H m0.0 O0.0 Ok.O OOH OONV m0.0 mk.O m0.0 OH HOOHH 0e.0 00.0 00.0 H 0eA oblov 00v AEV mouo coon Hoom\Eov anm EDH©o2 30H 00 oocmumHU poomm UEHB HOOHHHOHEOH 0>HumHmm meHm OumzacHs ooHo commouo coon puocm cH com "4 ommu .upHde 0cm noncouooo HowM¢0 ooomm UGHB can M0 pcoHonwooo com .0 oHnt 59 0O.~ O0.0 oe.m omm mm k umsmsa Ne.¢ 00.0 00.0 000 00 v umsmsm NO.~ O0.0 00.m OOm om H Hmsmsa em.m O0.0 mm.e OON 0m om HHOO OO.m mk.O NO.O OOm mm mm HHOO 00.0 00.0 00.0 0Hm HN em >H50 HEEV :oHuoHHQ ucoHOHmmoou HEEV ACHEV mucofiousmmoz opmo loconuomo>m com coHumuomo>m ucoEHHomxm Mo Honasz ooconomom com o>HHMHSEdo mo coHumuso o>HHMH5Eso .AQMV UGOHOHMMOOO GMQ Ugo AGMQMV coHuouomo>o com o>HumHDEso Eonw oousmeoo .Hoemv GOHHMHHmmcmuyomm>o oocouomom .0 oHnme III" 60 based on the wind—speed and relative humidity data and the recommended relations suggested by Doorenbos and Pruitt (81). These relations with minor modification in the unit of wind speed are given in Table 5. The measured pan losses and selected pan coefficients were multiplied to give computed reference evapotranspiration for different dates as shown in Table 6. To obtain actual crop evapotranspiration, reference evapotranspiration values must be multiplied by a crop coefficient, KC. This coefficient is dependent on the type of the crop and the stages of growth (19). Stages of growth is a primary variable that must be considered in computation of actual evapotranspiration. It is obvious that plants in rapid growth stages use water at a greater rate than early seedling stage. The relationship between crop coefficient and percent of growing season for three main crops under consideration in this study, namely corn, soybeans and turf— grass, are given in Figures 12, 13 and 14, respectively. These crop coefficients are presently recommended for the State of Michigan (96). The appropriate KC values selected from Figures 11, 12 and 13 for the periods of interest give actual evapotranspiration when multiplied by the reference evapotranspiration. These are shown in Table 7. Generally, the variations in actual evapotranspiration throughout the growing season is greater for annual crops such as corn and soybeans than for perennial crops such as turfgrass (89,91). 61 .Home .H0 .00 amouH> nouns 90anon .5 Chou How common wcHBon wo unoouom ou wouoHou mo udoHonmooo mono .NH ousmHm 5800 05380 00 ucootoa 9. cm on ok om cm 3. on om o. o o om. o... oo. szO cm.

Evaporation Estimated by Aerodynamic Models The data reported herein were collected during the months of July and August, 1980. Data collection was conducted for seven days and was limited to days and times when the sky was clear and cloudless and wind movement was mostly out of the south to southwest. Because of the large volume of the data collected, only three days of data were selected for presen- tation in this section. Originally, measurements were taken and recorded every two minutes, but during smoothing and processing they were combined and averaged to represent ten minute periods (see Tables B-l to B-7 in Appendix B). The air temperature profiles, representative of three- hour intervals on July 25, August 4 and 7, are presented in Figures 15, 16 and 17, respectively. These figures show the variation of each profile with elevation from the ground surface and also the change in slope of the profiles with time for a given date. Generally, all three figures indicate at one time or another the presence of an unstable atmospheric condition (aT/az negative) particularly late at night and very early in the morning. This changes gradually to a more stable condition (aT/az positive) with an increase in air temperature. The absence of stable temperature profiles (i.e. inversion), in Figure 17 for 2400 and 200 hr, was due to high soil temperatures. This resulted in a reversal of 65 Elevation (Cm) 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 IOO 50 66 3 1‘7\ _ AT 0 3"-_ ("152 l e § e C3 (3 C3 C) 00 E: _ 0) \ \ ‘0 N. "s. H 8.

This phenomenon was further intensified by exceptionally high wind speeds recorded during these specific hours, see Figure 20. The changes in temperature gradient provide a thermal stratification in the atmosphere. The buoyancy caused by this gradient induces thermal turbulence and plays an impor- tant role in the mixing and transport of water vapor (58,59, 74). To include this phenomena in our theoretical develop- ment, we introduced the variable 5 in the definition of stability parameter, S (see Equations [24] and [28]). The sign and magnitude of 3 determine the role of the temperature ’gradient on the atmospheric stability and the extent of its departure from neutrality. The computed values of 5 and Richardson number for temperature profiles are presented in Figures 15, 16 and 17. A comparison between these two para- meters helps to understand the role of each in predicting the condition of the atmosphere. The parameter 5 illustrates the influence of changes in air temperature on atmospheric stability. Richardson number is indicative of the combined influence of air temperature and wind speed on the stability of atmosphere. The profiles of wind speed for July 25, August 4 and 7 are presented in Figures l8, l9 and 20, respectively. These figures show the formation of mechanically induced turbulent boundary layers (profiles) above the ground surface and also their changes with time for a given date.

Richardson numbers and ‘B'S are the average values for the entire profile. 73 indicate that the thickness of the boundary layers gradually increases, starting early in the morning until mid-day and then decreasing in the latter hours of the day. To include these changes in our theoretical developments, we introduced a variable, 3, into the definition of stability parameter S (see Equations [25] and [28]). The parameter S does not have any influence on the sign of S. This is due to positive wind speed gradient above the ground surface at all times and also the squaring of b in Equation [28]. However, 5 strongly affects the magnitude of S. The computed E values and Richardson numbers are shown in Figures 18, 19 and 20. As indicated by Equation [31], the parameter B only illustrates the influence of mechanical forces of wind on the formation of a turbulent boundary layer and its stability under certain atmospheric condition. But, Richardson number represents the combined influence of mechanical forces of wind speed plus the buoyancy effects due to thermal gradient on atmospheric conditions. However, the changes in both of these parameters also represents the variation of the turbulent boundary layer (wind speed profiles). Under extremes of atmospheric condi- tions (i.e. very stable and/or very unstable), the logarithmic law applied to wind speed profiles needs to be modified to include the effects of air temperature (47,99). A graphical procedure was used to obtain aerodynamic parameters such as displacement height(d), roughness coeffi- cient(Zo), frictional velocity(U*) and shear stress(r) from the wind speed profiles (61,74).

According to these data, the magnitude of aero- dynamic roughness coefficients and displacement height values were not large enough to significantly influence Km, the coefficient of turbulent exchange, see Equations [6] and [9]. From Equation [17] the corresponding influence of Km on E, the rate of water vapor transport, is readily apparent. The data obtained for these parameters fall within the range of values previously reported for short, green grass crops (76,80,81). Profiles of absolute humidity for July 25, August 4 and 7 are presented in Figures 21, 22 and 23, respectively. The profiles in all three figures show a gradual decrease in humidity with elevation from the ground surface in a given day. However, this relation is reversed for late evening and early morning hours. For profiles with Richardson numbers of less than -0.1 (very unstable atmosphere), the ratio of heat to water vapor diffusivity coefficients (Kh/Kw) will depart smoothly from unity and become greater than one (12,49). This ratio also departs from unity for the Richardson numbers greater than +0.1 (very stable atmosphere) and becomes less than one (98). The Richardson numbers at 2100 and 2400 hours on August 7 reach their absolute maximum and minimum values, respectively. In these cases the turbu- lence has vanished and the main mechanism for water vapor transport is probably molecular diffusion (59). This is supported by the fact that no air motion was detected at these hours (see Figure 20). 78 mmoo.o mvm.m vvv.o oo.o cows vmoo.o Hmm.m nam.o 00.0 CH h umsm5< ovoo.o mmw.a mmm.o 00.0 NH v pmsmsm Hwoo.o mvm.H hhv.o oo.o OH mm mash A 80 mchUV AH: owm EOV AEOV AEUV mucwfimusmmmz wwmo NI mwmuwm mpflooaw> pcwfloflwmmoo pnmflom mo HmQEDZ ummnm coauoflgm mmocamsom ucwEmomHmmHo .mwaflmoum Umomm UGHB Eoum UmCHEHoump wwwupw MawSm paw moflooaw> HMcOHpoHHw .proEmumm mwocnmsou .ynmflmn ucwfimomHmmHQ .m magma 79 Previous discussion of temperature, wind speed and humidity profiles support the idea that equations of heat, momentum and water vapor transport should be modified such that they are representative of these phenomena under a wide range of atmospheric conditions (12,23,40,50). This suggestion prompted the derivation of a new equation describing the transport of water vapor in this study. The equation is an extension of an evaporation equation of Thornthwaite and Holzman (88). Their equation was modified for all conditions of atmospheric stability by introducing the stability parameter S, Equation [28]. This introduces a correction factor to the original equation of Thornthwaite- Holzman for the cases of unstable and stable atmospheric conditions as given in Equations [33] and [34]. Temperature, wind speed and humidity data of Appendix B were used to investigate the feasibility of S as a function of Richardson number. The results are shown in Figure 24. The linear, functional relationship between these two parameters show that S like the Richardson number can account for all the possible changes in temperature and wind speed profiles under a wide range of atmospheric conditions. It was not possible to use and manipulate the Richardson number in its defined form, Equation [10], as a stability criterion in the proposed analytical development. This difficulty was resolved by the use of the stability parameter S.

The computed evaporation rates from both the TH and MTH equations are smaller than the measured pan evaporation rates. However, in general the MTH equation estimates pan losses better than the TH equation, see Table 9. The MTH equation approximates pan evaporation best under unstable atmospheric conditions when S and Richardson number are negative. Under these conditions the accuracy of approximation increases as the magnitude of S or Ri increases. The computed evaporation rate for July 25 is representative of this case. Detailed analysis of the profile data indicate that unstable atmos- pheric conditions prevailed most of the time during this date (see Ri values in Table B—2). Under stable conditions, the MTH equation approximates pan evaporation best when S and Richardson number are positive in sign and small in magnitude; however, the degree of improvement in approximating pan evaporation under these conditions is not as good as under unstable atmospheric condi- tions. This may be observed by referring to computed evapora— tion rates for July 24 and 30, in Table 9. Detailed analysis of the profile data indicate that stable atmospheric conditions prevailed most of the time on these dates (see Ri values in Tables B-1 and B—3). Sample calculations for both stable and unstable atmospheric conditions are presented in Appendix D. When a combination of both stable and unstable atmospheric conditions prevailed, the degree of improvement in 83 approximating pan evaporation based on MTH equation was about 7 to 12 percent better than the original TH equation. The data for August 1 and 4 indicate that both stable and unstable conditions prevailed on these dates (see Ri values in Tables B—4 and B-5). This improvement in calculating the pan evaporation from meteorological profile data is a definite advantage for the equation proposed in this study. To illustrate the accuracy of the proposed model in estimating evapotranspiration rates, there was a need for measuring soil water losses over short periods. Generally, weighing lysimeters are used for this purpose. Since such a device was not available in the vicinity of the experimen- tal site, the data of Morgan et. a1. (52) were selected and used for analysis. Six days of data were selected randomly. These data included evapotranspiration rates measured by a 6.1-meter lysimeter, air temperature, wind speed and absolute humidity profiles recorded over 30 minute periods in 1966 at the University of California, Davis. Table 10 presents the evapotranspiration rates recorded by the lysimeter and rates computed according to the TH and MTH equations. The meteorological profile data selected for this analyses were obtained between 700 and 1900 hr at the 25 and 50 cm levels above a short grass cover. Generally, both TH and MTH underestimated the evapo- transpiration losses from the lysimeter when unstable atmospheric conditions prevailed. The error of estimate by MTH was about 4 to 17 percent smaller than TH for days with 84 Ewmwam m dmwmmnaflmfiflm n Houum ou cflpuooom Umusmeoo mum uouuw mo moSHm> HmCOfiuomum ++ Eu om paw mm mo me>oH may cmwzumn upmp maflmoum Eouw pocflmuno mosam> + mwma.o+ mmmm.o momH.o+ mmmm.o Hmmm.o vm mm Honfioumom vaN.0| mmmm.o mmmw.ou Nmnm.o mmbv.o wm «a wash vmwm.o: mmmm.o mmwm.0| mmmm.o mom¢.o «N ma mHSb Hoam.OI ,vmmm.o omov.ou Hmnm.o mmmv.o vm m ocuw mumm.OI mvmm.o mmmm.on mmom.o wav.o vm m ocsn maca.o: mmma.o mhma.0| moma.o mamm.o vm m an: ++Houum cmENHom ++uouum +cmENHom Hmuwfiflmmq mDGoEoMSmwwz mumo Impflm3£ucuose loufimsnucuOSB mo Mogadz Umamacoz ACME om\EEv mpmu coflumuomm>m :mwz .mump daemonm owumsmmofiwm Eoum mGOHumswo amENHom Iouflmzsucuone pmflMflcoe cam cmENHomnouflwzcuquona map on mcflpuooom popsmaoo can A.Hm .uw cmmuoz Hopwmv Hopwfifimma cues pmHSmMmE moumu coflumuflmmnmuuomm>m .oa mange 85 unstable atmospheric conditions. The one exception, September 29 was for stable atmospheric conditions. For the profile data of September 29 both TH and MTH equations overestimated evapotranspiration losses recorded by the lysimeter. The results of estimating evapotranspiration from a lysimeter and evaporation from a Class A pan using the MTH equation illustrate the degree of effectiveness of the S parameter and its related functions f(S) in adjusting for the influence of the changing atmospheric conditions in trans— port of water vapor. Based on these results it was found that the proposed MTH equation performed better in estimating water losses from a lysimeter than a Class A pan. This was probably due to less variation in meteorological conditions at Davis as compared to the conditions found in Michigan. However, in both cases the MTH equation performed the best under unstable atmospheric conditions. CONCLUSIONS The following conclusions have been drawn from this investigation: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Under optimum soil moisture conditions evapo— transpiration reaches its potential rate. As such, it is controlled primarily by weather parameters. Cumulative pan evaporation measured over short periods increased linearly with time during each measurement period but changed significantly from one day to the next during the period of study. Cumulative pan evaporation measured over short periods correlates best with pan temperature followed by air temperature and wind speed. Simple correlation coefficient between cumulative pan evaporation and atmospheric humidity indicated a very significant negative correlation between these two parameters. Detailed analysis of air temperature, wind speed and absolute humidity profiles obtained over short periods, indicated a need for the modification of heat, momentum and water vapor transfer equations to better represent these processes under a wide range of atmospheric conditions. 86 (6) (7) (8) 87 A proposed stability parameter S proved to be more effective than Richardson number in taking into account all possible changes in atmospheric conditions, but unlike Richardson number S is very easy to use in the analytical development of the proposed evaporation model. The modified version of the Thornthwaite-Holzman equation proposed in this study proved to be more effective than the original form in estimating evapotranspiration rates from a lysimeter and evaporation rates from a Class A pan over short periods. The proposed model developed in this study will work for all conditions of atmospheric stability, but it approximates evapotranspiration from lysimeter and pan evaporation best under unstable atmospheric conditions. APPENDICES APPENDIX A FORTRAN IV PROGRAM FOR DATA PROCESSING AND DATA CONVERSION) 88 The following FORTRAN IV program was used to read the analog, digitized data from paper tapes and convert it to digital forms with appropriate engineering units by means of specified calibration curves and/or functional relation- ships. The program consisted of the main program GAWTHR; subroutines PAUXCYBER, GETDAT and SMOOTH; and function FNR. The main program in addition to converting the analog data into useful digital numbers also computed certain parameters such as water vapor flux, Richardson numbers and stability functions based on the atmospheric profile data. Subroutine PAUXCYBER was written by Mr. Lloyd Lerew of the Department of Agricultural Engineering at Michigan State University (46). This subroutine was called in the main program to compute the moisture concentration in the air from dry and wet-bulb temperatures. Subroutine GETDAT read the converted digitized data into common blocks. This subroutine also checked for bad or missing data points during processing. Subroutine SMOOTH used a binomial distribution procedure (2), to smooth the data over 2 data points. The magnitude of n could vary between 3 to 9. Function FNR converted the wet and dry bulb air tempera- tures from degrees Centigrade to degrees Fahrenheit for use in subroutine PAUXCYBER. nnnnn nnnnnnn O f} C 89 PROGRAM GAUTHR(OUTPUT.TAPE2=I182vRLPORT.TAPEb=REPORT|TAPEIu OREPDT20TAPE7:RCPRT2) ANDERS G JOHANSON AUGUST 1980 FOR C1050 GHASEM ASRAR TO REA” ANALOG DIGITIZCO TAPE 0UTPUT(INPUT TO THIS PROGRAM) AUG PROUUCF CUSTOM REPORT AND POSSIBLY CONVERTED DATA FILE OUTPUT counon IPKESS/ PATH COMMON /°RESET/ xMD.STAR COMMJN /TntoATA/ JDATttz).JTTMET2T.CHNL(100T.IEOF COMMON /R£SULTS/NUIND.TEMP(ID).HUH(5).UINDV(5)oEVAPF.SOILT(5)9PANT DIMFNSInN IHTNDV(5)91TEMP(10) o .HGTTST.Rw(a).EAEROtA).PSOILTt5) (DIMENSION PTEMP(10)9PUINDV(5) DIMENSION IEPRX(6) RtAL KAT DATA IERRX/Uv'O.‘000c‘0o~0/ DATA ITEMP /5.A.7.a.q.12.13.14.25.2e/.

The results are pre- sented in Tables B-l to B-9 in the following pages. Each table contains 32 columns which are printed on two separate pages. The first column on the first page shows the sampling time. The next five columns present the dry-bulb air tem- peratures, expressed in degrees Centigrade and measured at five different elevations above the ground surface. These elevations are .5, l, 2, 4 and 8 m. Absolute humidities, expressed in grams moisture per cubic centimeter of dry air based on the measured dry and wet-bulb temperatures at five elevations are presented in columns 6 to 10. Wind speeds at five indicated elevations are given in columns 11 to 16. Richardson numbers were computed for four different elevation intervals based on measured dry air temperature and wind speeds. Computed Richardson numbers are giVen in columns 17 to 20 starting on the second page of each table. The water loss from the automated Class A pan is presented as millimeters of water per ten minute period in column 21. Columns 22 to 25 of these tables show the computed water vapor flux based on the modified version of Thornthwaite-Holzman equation for four different elevation intervals. These fluxes have the dimensions of gram per square centimeter per second. Soil 100 temperatures were measured in degrees Centigrade and are presented in columns 26 to 30. Column 31 shows the water temperature for the Class A pan in degrees Centigrade. Recorded wind directions are presented in the last column of each table. Smoothed atmospheric and soil data averaged over ten-minute periods, Table B-l. 1980.

APPENDIX D ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES FOR COMPUTING EVAPORATION RATES FROM EQUATIONS [32] and [35] 122 The following examples illustrate computational procedures used in calculating evaporation rates from TH and MTH equations under the same atmospheric conditions. Both stable and unstable atmospheric conditions are con- sidered. First, we consider a case of stable atmospheric conditions. For this case we use data obtained for the 50 and lOO-cm elevations at 1930 hr on July 24, 1980 (see Table B-l). To evaluate the parameter S from Equation [28], we must first compute a and B from Equations [30] and [31].

Then the corresponding evaporation rate from MTH was computed according to Equation [32] as = ———9—pak2é‘ AU . f(S) [ln(§f)] _ (0.41)(0.41)(0.12)(2.70) — 100 .

For this case, we consider the data obtained for the 50 and lOO-cm elevations at 1650 hr on July 25, 1980 (see 124 Table B-2). The a, b and S parameters for this date are -0.29, 29.58 and —0.02, respectively. Using the value calculated for S and Equation [33], we find f(S) to be 0.448. The next step is to compute evaporation rates from Equations [32] and [35]. The computed rates according to these equations are 0.002 and 0.005mm/10 min, respectively. LIST OF REFERENCES 10. 11.
