Example Sentences
- "Calculated evapotranspirations are climatological values, namely the long-term average of the evapotranspirations."
- "In many environments, evapotranspiration makes up a larger proportion of the catchment water balance than the stream discharge. Thus, for longer periods of rainfall–runoff simulation, it will generally be necessary to estimate actual evapotranspiration losses from a catchment in order to have an adequate representation of the antecedent state of the catchment prior to each rainfall event."
- "SWAP estimates that all the components of the water balance and the simulated evapotranspirations do not comprise percolation.[…]Figure 10A shows the ratios between sugarbeet evapotranspirations estimated by water balance and the SWAP-simulated evapotranspirations."
