Continuous monitoring of water loss from an evaporation pan was automated by using a system of 16 general-purpose Constantan wire-resistance strain gages mounted on four supporting arms. A change in pan weight from water loss proportionally changed the electrical resistance of the wire gages. The sy

Class A pan evaporation measurements are reasonable estimates of evapotranspiration in humid climates when soil water is no t restricting plant growth. With the development of high-frequency irrigation systems where small quantities of water are applied often to replace evapotranspiration losses, fr
## Abstract An automated tunnel evaporationβrate measurement system (TEMS) has been designed to measure automatically the evaporation from a cylinder 0Β·30 m in diameter and βΌ0Β·10 m tall. This cylinder continuously maintains a constant height of water, with losses to evaporation replenished from a s
