Question: Evapotranspiration ( 3 5 points ) For a particular location and time of year, the average net radiation is 1 7 0 W / m

Evapotranspiration (35 points)For a particular location and time of year, the average net radiation is 170 W/m2, air temperature is 24 deg C, relative humidity is 60%, and wind speed is 3 m/s at a height of 2 m. Assume roughness height to be 0.03 cm.a) Determine the evaporation rate in mm/d using the energy method. (10 points)b) Determine the evaporation rate in mm/d using the aerodynamic method. (10 points)c) What if humidity decreased to 20%? Re-do the calculation using the aerodynamic method and find out (10points)d) Note the difference in evaporation rates between (b) and this answer. (5 points)
