Evaporation Suppression From Water Bodies Using Floating Covers: Laboratory Studies of Cover Type, Wind, and Radiation Effects
Peter Lehmann, Milad Aminzadeh, Dani Or · Water Resources Research (2019)
Key finding (our summary)
Laboratory studies of evaporation suppression by floating covers of different types and coverage fractions, linking cover properties and the surface energy balance to suppression efficiency.
Shows suppression depends not just on how much surface is covered but on how the cover alters radiation and heat exchange.
