Abstract

During the 1974 growing season, a micrometeorological measurement program was conducted at Simcoe, Ontario, Canada to study atmospheric and surface control on hourly and daytime evaporation from soybeans. For days when leaf area index exceeded unity, daytime evaporation varied linearly with volumetric soil moisture content when the latter was less than 0.12. At larger volumetric soil moisture contents, evaporation proceeded at a potential rate. The data confirm the usefulness of the Priestley and Taylor model with a proportionality constant of 1.26.
