How rising temperature and changing solar radiation affect evaporation of natural water bodies remains poor understood. In this study, evaporation from Lake Taihu, a large (area 2400 km) freshwater lake in the Yangtze River Delta, China, was simulated by the CLM4-LISSS offline lake model and estimated with pan evaporation data. Bothmethods were calibrated against lake evaporation measured direc...

proper irrigation scheduling, i.e. timely and adequate irrigation is an important prerequisite to profitable crop production. high temperatures along with soil moisture deficits are some of the main limiting factors for canola (b. napus l.) production in dry land cropping systems. these factors negatively affect the formation of pods during the flowering stage, resulting in decrease in seed yie...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes and planting methods on yield, yield components, morphological traits, and storage characteristics of a local onion cultivar, namely, goli ghesse. the experiment was conducted as a factorial split plot design with rcbd arrangement in four replications and for three years at kheirabad research station. irrigati...

Evaporation is an essential component of hydrological cycle. Several meteorologicalfactors play role in the amount of pan evaporation. These factors are often related to eachother. In this study, a multiple linear regression (MLR) in conjunction with PrincipalComponent Analysis (PCA) was used for modeling of pan evaporation. After thestandardization of the variables, independent components were...

Contrary to expectations, measurements of pan evaporation show decreases in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere over the last 50 years. When combined with rainfall measurements, these data show that much of the Northern Hemisphere’s terrestrial surface has become less arid over the last 50 years. However, whether the decrease in pan evaporation is a phenomenon limited to the Northern Hemisphe...

the most precise and simple method of evaporation measurement is application of pans in which class a pan is used in iran. in contrast, there are many empirical methods which are used for estimating the evapotraspiration. in this study, thornthwaite method was used due to the simplicity of its parameters and then we tried to use it for evaluating evapotranspiration by changing it's paramet...

saving in irrigation water is important in the early season of sugar beet. the effect of early season deficit irrigation on the sugar beet growth indexes was investigated in kabotarabad agricultural research station (esfahan) in 1998. the soil texture was silty clay and the experiment design was randomized complete block with 4 relications. six irrigation regimes were applied after. 1) 100 mm (...
