Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A researcher wants to compare ET in two adjacent fields. Field A has an average wind speed of 2 m/s while Field B has 4 m/s. If e_s and e_a remain constant at 2 kPa and 1 kPa respectively, how will the ET differ between the two fields?
💡 Hint: Focus on how increasing wind speed affects the ET calculation.
In a controlled experiment, a scientist finds that reducing e_a increases ET significantly. Provide a plausible explanation for this observation in relation to the Aerodynamic Method.
💡 Hint: Consider how vapor pressure influences evaporation and why a deficit is crucial.
