Question 5
(a) Estimate the depth of evaporation (in mm units) that can be expected to occur over a 24-hour period from a location under the following conditions:
Available Energy = 800 W/m²
Bowen Ratio 0.35
You can assume the latent heat of vaporisation equals 2.5MJ/kg and the density of water equals 1000kg/m³.
E =
mm
(b) When the Bowen ratio is less than 1, does the air above the water surface get warmer? (No answer given)
