Evapotranspiration
In this module, you will gain an understanding of the role evapotranspiration (ET) plays in the hydrologic cycle and practical experience in calculating ET fluxes at different temporal and spatial scales for solving an array of water balance problems. You will learn how to estimate ET, including ...
Evapotranspiration HumboldtState Enroll Now Evapotranspiration This module will review methods of estimating and measuring ET Module Overview This module gives a broad overview of ET. The last section on remote sensing is appropriate for graduate students or advanced undergraduates. Topics Covered Overview of ET, Water Budget, Measurements of ET, Parameters related to ET, PET Estimation (T and Rn -based), Penman-Monteith Ref ET, Improving Water Management using Remote Sensing Prerequisites Students are expected be comfortable with Excel, and to have some familiarity with computer programming, but knowledge of a specific programming language is not required. Students will be asked to interpret and modify code in order to create graphs for analysis and interpretation.
