Key finding (our summary)
Compares direct eddy-covariance measurements of evaporation from a small reservoir against common estimation methods, testing how well standard models reproduce observed open-water loss.
Direct flux measurement provides a benchmark for judging which simpler estimation methods are trustworthy on small water bodies.
