Water Balance Using the Penman-Monteith
Equation
Today’s
lab exercise is intended to give you an opportunity to see how vegetation cover
influences evapotranspiration. We will be using a modified version of the
Penman-Monteith equation that we discussed in lecture. The spreadsheet that we will be using was
developed by Dr. Robert Mitchell in the Geology Department here at WWU. Dr. Mitchell developed this spreadsheet for
use in his hydrology class (Geol 472).
There is no lab writeup for today’s lab.

of the Excel spreadsheet
I will walk you through the use of this spreadsheet in lab and we will do a few simple manipulations with it.
