evapX - Evaporation calculated using Granger and Pomeroy, 1997, Priestley-Taylor and Penman-Monteith methods.
This module defined in ClassevapX, calculates the evapotranspiration from after snowmelt to fall snow cover.
It calculates the daily evapotranspiration using Granger and partitions it over the day to interval values using intervals with positive net radiation.
The interval values are calculated for the Priestley-Taylor and Penman-Monteith methods.
Observations
- RnObs (W/m^2) - all-wave net radiation used by Penmon_Monteith and Dalton Bulk transfer method (optional).
- Qsi (W/m^2) - incident short-wave (optional).
Variables
- hru_evap (mm/int) - average depth of evaporation from an HRU in a time step, Dt.
- hru_cum_evap (mm) - cumulative evaporation – calculated as the sum of interval estimates of hru_evap.
- hru_evapD (mm/d) - daily evaporation – calculated as the daily sum of interval estimates of hru_evap. Should equal evap_Granger_D etc.
- hru_actet (mm/int) - actual evapotranspiration over the HRU. Evaporation and evapotranspiration are limited by the amount of soil moisture available.
- hru_cum_actet (mm) - cumulative actual evapotranspiration over the HRU.
- Granger_D (mm/d) - daily evaporation calculated from daily means of t, u and vapour pressure using Granger_D method.
- Priestley_Taylor_D (mm/d) - daily evaporation calculated from daily means of t, u and vapour pressure using Priestley_Taylor method.
- rc (s/m) - stomatal resistance (used by Penman-Monteith and Dalton).
- Pa (kPa) - Atmospheric pressure.

Evaporation calculations Daily/Interval.
Interval observations or daily mean observations can be used in Priestley-Taylor and Penman-Monteith methods. The selection is made by the parameters PT_Daily, PM_Daily and DB_Daily. When
Daily calculation of Granger.
- Ea = fdaily(u, Ht)*(e*-ea)
- D = Ea/(Ea+(Rn-Qg-Qs))
- G = 1/(0.793 + 0.2*exp(4.902*D) + 0.006*D
- E = (delta(t)*G*(Rn-Qg-Qs) + gamma(Pa, t)*G*Ea)/( delta(t)*G + gamma(Pa, t))
where t, u and ea are the mean of interval values and e* is calculated using the mean daily temperature t.
The Granger daily evaporation is partitioned over the daily intervals when Rn is positive.
- hru_evap = hru_evapD*Rn[tn] / RnD_POS,
where RnD_POS is the sum of daily intervals when Rn[Dt] is positive.
Priestley Taylor
- 1.26*delta(t)*(Rn-Qg-Qs)/(( delta(t) + gamma(Pa, t)) for positive incoming net radiation,
where values are interval. Evaporation is zero when incoming net radiation is <= 0.0.
Atmospheric Pressure
- P = P0*exp((293.0-0.0065*elevation)/293.0, 5.26),
where P0 = 101.3.
