Analysis of methods for calculation of evaporation for the conditions of the northern slope of the kyrgyz ridge (by the example of the Sokuluk river basin)

Abstract

To assess evaporation from the water surface in the Sokuluk River basin, full-scale measurements of evaporation were carried out in various parts of the study area, with different characteristics of the underlying surface. Measurements of meteorological parameters affecting evaporation were also carried out: air temperature, duration of sunshine, relative air humidity, average wind speed. A comparative analysis between the existing empirical methods for calculating the reference with the measured evaporation from the water surface. The errors of different methods were calculated and the most suitable for calculating evaporation for the Sokuluk River were identified.
