Question: The maximum and minimum temperature recorded at a Lake is 1 8 C and 1 5 C in February. The mean air temperature ( T

The maximum and minimum temperature recorded at a Lake is 18C and 15C in February. The mean air temperature (T), pan evaporation (EP), wind speed (uZ), relative humidity (RH), and net radiation (Rn) in a nearby weather station were found to be 23C,15mm? day, 23ms,47%,20.54MJm2?? day, respectively. Estimate Lake evaporation (mm? day) using:
(a) Pan Evaporation method,
(b) Aerodynamic method,
(c) Energy balance method, and
(d) Penman method of combined aerodynamic and energy balance algorithm.
Data you may need:
Saturation vapor pressure, eS=611e(19.65T273+T) where T is temperature in C and es in Pa
(You can also use table to read off the value of es from internet or textbook (Table 2.9 or Appendix A) Assume, Pan Coefficient =0.7
Bulk evaporation coefficient, CE=1.310-3
Vapor pressure at elevation Z;eZ=RH**es
Atmospheric pressure at sea level =101.3kPa
Density of air =1.19kgm3 and for water =1000kgm3
Bowen ratio =0.1
Latent heat of vaporization ()=2.447MJkg
Disregard the soil head index )=(0
Constants for the Penman method (Table 2.9): at 23C,=0.17 and =0.0669kPaC
The maximum and minimum temperature recorded at a
