The influence of wind stress, temperature, and humidity gradients on evaporation from reservoirs

Scott A. Condie, Ian T. Webster · Water Resources Research (1997)

Key finding (our summary)

Analyses how wind stress, temperature and humidity gradients control evaporation from reservoirs, clarifying the physical drivers behind open-water loss.

Understanding which gradients dominate helps explain why evaporation varies so much with site exposure and climate.
