By the end of today's
class, you should be able to do the following:
EVAPORATION
w
Review: Using the Illinois State
Climatologist data, determine the pan evaporation
station(s) that best represent(s) your watershed;
collect and tabulate evaporation values for your
watershed (don't forget about the pan
coefficient!), and determine the volume of
water evaporated annually from open water surfaces in
your watershed.
EVAPOTRANSPIRATION
w
Explain how evapotranspiration
differs from evaporation.
w
List and describe the factors that affect
transpiration rates.
w
Explain the similarities and differences between
pan evaporation,
potential evapotranspiration (PET), and
actual
evapotranspiration (AET).
w
List and describe approaches for estimating AET for a
watershed.
w
See the lysimeter photos from
the USDA Agricultural Research Service
Northern Appalachian Experimental Watershed Laboratory
(Coshocton, Ohio--see p. 94 in your textbook).
