Preferred term

water_potential_evaporation_amount  

Definition

  • 'Amount' means mass per unit area. 'Water' means water in all phases. Evaporation is the conversion of liquid or solid into vapor. (The conversion of solid alone into vapor is called 'sublimation'.) Potential evaporation is the rate at which evaporation would take place under unaltered ambient conditions (temperature, relative humidity, wind, etc.) if the supply of water were unlimited, as if from an open water surface.

Note

  • Mapping to be determined
