Evaporation (Pan)
Evaporation (Pan)
(OP)
I am trying to determine a rough volume for the daily evaporation from a reservoir using evaporation pan data. I have been looking through several textbooks which only discuss using pan data in relation to reservoirs by referring to the correction factor Cp for the rate. The data I have for the pan is the evaporation rate in in/day. There is no discussion on the area over which this rate occurs. I am trying to determine how to calculate the volume per time that is lost from a reservoir of a certain size. Just for argument sake the (factored) evaporation rate is 0.24 in/day and the reservoir is 2 acres. Is the rate from the pan data over the area of the pan? is it over a square inch? a square foot?
Thanks
