what is evaporation influenced by?

topography, land use, meteorology, water availability..

what is the most important component of the water balance?

evapotranspiration

evaporation impacts..

water availability, hydrograph shape and peaks

solar constant

solar declination

I0=1366 W/m2

delta= 23.45°

equation of radiation

Ri = Rr + Ra + Rt

incoming = reflection + absorbtion + transmission

what causes diffuse radiation?

scattering of incoming radiation

Rsw = Rdir + Rdif

Radiation at the top of the atmosphere?

and on the surface?

Rsw = I0/4 = 342 W/m2 (due to shape and night)

surface = 188 W/m2

kirchhoffs law

R1/a1=R2/a2 or R1/e1=R2/e2

a: absorptivity, e: emissivity

"a good reflector is a bad emitter"

a=1 -> black body

plancks law

R= R(lambda, T),

Rtot = integral from 0 to infinity over R(lambda)d_lambda

 

wiens law

lambda_max = b/T

b: wiens konstant = 2898 um/K

describs the displacement of the wavelength with max radiation depending on the Temperature

stefan bolzmann law

Rtot = sigma * T4

radiation as a function of Temperature

albedo

alpha = Rr/Ri

alpha = alpha(lambda)

net radiation

Rn = Rsw(1-alpha) + RLW_in - R_LW_out

Rn = reflected + atmos - surface

RLW_in = ecs*K*sigma*TA4

RLW_out = es*K*sigma*Ts4

K is funct of cloud cover

e is frunct of vapour presure and temp

energy balance

Rn - lambda*E - H - G -Lp*Fp + AH = dU/dt

net radiation - latent heat - sensible heat - ground heat flux - energy from carbon fluxes (photosynthesis) + energy advection = energy stored in the system

simplified energy balance

Rn - lambda*E -H -G =0

examples for lambda*E > and < H

lambda*E >> H: over the ocean

lambda*E << H: in the city

equal: on human body

what is transported by the atmosphere?

momentum

energy

mass

which quantities are how transported in the atmosphere?

heat: diffusion, conduction -> H = -KdT/dz [J/m2s]

momentum: laminar conduction -> tau = mu*du/dz [Ns/m2s]

mass: diffusion -> Q = -D* dC/dz or E=-D*dq/dz [kg/m2s]

K: thermal conductivity

D: molecular diffusivity

mu: dynamic viscosity

 

boundary layers

ABL

SBL-> dynamic sublayer + interface sublayer

simplified turbulent fluxes in the atmosphere

mass: E=rho*Δq/rav

energy: H=rho*Cp*ΔT/rah

momentum: tau=rho*u/ram

neutral aerodynamic resistance

with simplified turbulent flux + log wind profile ->

Evaporation: E=f(???)

E=f(Δq, Δe, u, T)

u=0, free convection -> f(Ta-Ts)

u>0, forced convection -> f(u)

e_sat at 0°C and 100°C

e_sat(0)= 610 Pa

e_sat(100) = 101325 Pa

methods to calculate evaporation

water budget

energy budget

mass transfer -> aerodynamic method

combined mass and energy transfer -> perman approach

calculate Evaporation using water budget

ET =Pr +Qi -Qo

assumption: dS/dt = 0

calculate evaporation using the simplified energy budget

Rn- lambda*E - H - G = 0

further simplified:

Rn - lambda *E - H = 0

-> E = Rn/(lambda* (1+Bo))

problem: qs=?? and Ts=??

-> assumption: Bo = const or 0

-> E=Rn/lambda [kg m-2 s-1]

-> E = Rn/(roh_w* lambda) [m s-1]

Bowen Ratio

problems of Bo

Bo = H/(lambda*E) = sensible heat/ latent heat

= (Cp*ΔT)/(lambda*Δq)

problems: usually qs and Ts are unknown

calculate evaporation using mass transfer (aerodynamic method)

E = (rho*Δq)/ra

empirical observations: E = f(u)(es-ea) -> f(u) = (0.622/P)*(rho/ra) -> Problem: es still unknown

assumption: es = esat(Ts) = esat(Ta) -> E = ~f(u)(es(Ta)-ea)

~f(u): empirical function, but often is the theoretical f used

calculation of evaopration using the penman equation

ideas

combination of mass and energy transfer

Δ = desat/dT=[esat(Ts)-esat(Ta)]/(Ts-Ta) ≈ f(Ta)

 

the classic penman equation

  timescale: (hourly to) daily

Priestley-Taylor Equation

E=Δ/(Δ+gamma)*Eene + gamma/(Δ+gamma)*Eaer

approximation:

E≈1.26*Δ/(Δ+gamma)*Eene

 

issues of potential evaporation

typically ea and Ta are not in potential condition

generally: potential = not limited by the supply

-> reduction factor: E = EpotR, ßR=f(θ), θ: water content

Transpiration is a function of:

Δq, Δe, u, Ta + Plant physiology

how can plants control Transpiration

vary LAI

open/close stomata

Canopy resistance

rc = rs/LAI = somata resistance/ leaf area index

Penman-Monthey equation

replace ra with ra+rc

 

stomata resistance depends on:

An, Δe,CO2, θ, N

methods to measure evapotranspiration

eddy covariance: direct measurement of turbulent fluctuations ov vert. wind vel. and specific humidity

pan evaporation: usually needs to be corrected by 0.7 due to eddy turbulences at edges.

Lysimeter: weight loss of a soil control volume

what are the different zones in the soil

.

unsaturated zone

≈ vadose zone

source of moisture for vegetation

E+T and recharge into deeper auquifers occur

constrols separation bewteen runoff and infiltration -> dominant for hydr processes

highly non-linear
