Reference crop evapotranspiration or reference evapotranspiration, denoted as ETo or ETref, is the estimation of the evapotranspiration from the "reference surface. "The reference surface is a hypothetical grass reference crop with an assumed crop height of 0. 12 m, a fixed surface resistance of 70 s/m and an albedo of 0. 23. The reference surface closely resembles an extensive surface of green, well-watered grass of uniform height, actively growing and completely shading the ground. The fixed surface resistance of 70 s/m implies a moderately dry soil surface resulting from about a weekly irrigation frequency. 1, record 1, English, - reference%20evapotranspiration

Evaporimeter(atmometer) An evaporimeter consists of a flat, porous ceramic disk(Bellani plate) in which water is drawn up by capillary action as water is evaporated from the disk. It is used to directly estimate crop evapotranspiration rate. Several commercial models can be easily installed near the edge of a field or on a roadway in a field.(The unit must be located far enough into the field to avoid field boundary effects.) One commercial model provides a green canvas-like material covering the ceramic disc to simulate crop leaf color. Reasonably good correlation has been found between field measurements and that calculated from Penman-type equations. Small difference in evaporation rates may be found between individual meters. Maintaining water levels and removal for freeze protection are necessary. 5, record 6, English, - Bellani%20atmometer

Many different types of evaporation pans are being used. The best known pans are the Class A evaporation pan(circular pan) and the Sunken Colorado pan(square pan). The principle of the evaporation pan is the following : the pan is installed in the field; the pan is filled with a known quantity of water(the surface area of the pan is known and the water depth is measured) ;the water is allowed to evaporate during a certain period of time(usually 24 hours). For example, each morning at 7 o’clock a measurement is taken. The rainfall, if any, is measured simultaneously-after 24 hours, the remaining quantity of water(i. e. water depth) is measured;-the amount of evaporation per time unit(the difference between the two measured water depths) is calculated; this is the pan evaporation : E pan(in mm/24 hours) ;-the E pan is multiplied by a pan coefficient, K pan, to obtain the Eto [reference crop evapotranspiration]. 1, record 7, English, - sunken%20Colorado%20pan
