Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
In an area with high winds and low humidity, the measured evaporation from a Class A pan is 12mm. If the average K_p for this environment is determined to be 0.6, what is the estimated ET?
💡 Hint: Use the formula and consider how environmental factors play a role.
Investigate how an increase in temperature affects the K_p and subsequent ET estimates. Design a brief report discussing the relationship with supporting data.
💡 Hint: Focus on how K_p changes with temperature.
