4 Energy balance

5 Solar radiation Emission rate of the sun : 73 million W/m 2 Portion on the top of the earth atmosphere : 1380 W/m 2 30% scattered back to space 70% transmitted through the atmosphere - 19% absorbed by gazes - 51% transmitted down to the earth surface Radiation balance : R n = [( S + D) ( S + D) a] + ( L L ) down up S : direct shortwave radiation D: diffuse shortwave radiation L: Longwave radiation a : earth albeto reflected radiation

6 Soil water balance P ( I + R ) = ET + R S + nt off wt Water infiltration to the soil ground : ( R + S ) = P ( I + ET R ) I = + wt nt off

7 Evapotranspiration Evaporation : change in state of water from liquid to water vapor when the transfer of energy towards water increases the kinetic energy Transpiration : evaporation from the vascular system of plants Estimating evapotranspiration (Penman 1948): PET 1000 R /( ρ L n w v a = + γ ) + γe = 4099P vs E = 0.165( P P )( u /100) ( T ) 2 a vs v 2 u 2 = u z ln 4.87 ( 67.8z 5.42)

40 Summary

41 Summary Among the various components of the water balance, measurement of evapotranspiration has probably been the most difficult to quantify Direct measurement of evapotranspiration has been conducted using weighing lysimeters Quantification of evapotranspiration typically conducted using energy balance or water balance methods The current focus on evapotranspirative cover systems has brought renewed need for quantification of evapotranspiration

42 Final Remarks Significant improvements have been made regarding monitoring of evapotranspiration using direct methods (weighing lysimeter), energy balance methods, and water balance approaches. However, significant additional advances should be made towards integrating unsaturated soil mechanics with other areas such as meteorology,
