For a particular location the average net solar radiation is 6.65 MJ m-2d-1, the soil heat flux is 0.1Rn, the atmospheric temperature is 20⁰ C, the water surface temperature is 18⁰ C, and a pressure gage height of 2 m. Since this area is rather arid, the dryness coefficient is a little larger than normal, with a value of 1.33. Determine the open water evaporation rate in mm/day using the Priestley-Taylor method.
I hope the answer is clear.
