evapotranspiration"1. The combined processes through which water is transferred to the atmosphere from open water and ice surfaces, bare soil, and vegetation that make up the earth's surface. 2.
Evapotranspiration - loss of water from the soil both by evaporation and by transpiration from the plants growing thereon ...
EVAPOTRANSPIRATION The total amount of water that is transferred from the earth's surface to the atmosphere. It is made up of the evaporation of liquid or solid water plus the transpiration from plants.
evapotranspiration: the combined water vapor put into the air through evaporation from water on earth's surface and plants giving off water to the atmosphere. exosphere: the outermost portion of the atmosphere.
Evapotranspiration Vaporization of water through direct evaporation from wet surfaces and the release of water vapor by vegetation.
Evapotranspiration Combination of evaporation from free water surfaces and transpiration of water from plant surfaces to the atmosphere. EVE ...
Evapotranspiration(1) The sum of evaporation and plant transpiration. Potential evapotranspiration is the amount of water that could be evaporated or transpired at a given temperature and humidity, if there was plenty of water available.
actual evapotranspirationThe rate of water lost from vegetation and soil, ordinarily at a slower rate than the potential rate.
It responds slowly, changing little from week to week, and reflects long-term moisture runoff, recharge, and deep percolation, as well as evapotranspiration.
Potential evapotranspiration The amount of moisture which, if available, would be removed from a given land area by evapotranspiration. Expressed in units of water depth.
The rate of evapotranspiration of forests, or of any large vegetated area for that matter, contributes to the release of water vapor in the atmosphere.
From a gardeners point of view there also is physiological drought , a condition of soil water being sufficient, but temporarily unavailable, as when the water is frozen, or when the rate of evapotranspiration exceeds the rate of uptake of water ...
Conveyance Loss The loss of water from a conduit due to leakage, seepage, evaporation, or evapotranspiration. Cooling Degree Day see Degree Day.
phase have above-average energies, those left behind have below-average energies, which is manifested by a decrease in temperature of the condensed phase (unless compensated for by energy transfer from the surroundings). See also evapotranspiration.
The depth of this layer, which is about 80 m, is determined by the water's extinction coefficient, the cloudiness, and the sunlight's angle of incidence. evapotranspiration Discharge of water from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere by ...
