Measurement and Simulation of Evapotranspiration at a Wetland Site in the New Jersey Pinelands

Clark2AbstractEvapotranspiration (ET) was monitored above a wetland forest canopy dominated by pitch-pine in the New Jersey Pinelands during November 10, 2004?February 20, 2007, using an eddy-covariance method. Twelve-month ET totals ranged from 786 to 821 millimeters (mm). Minimum and maximum ET rates occurred during December?February and in July, respectively. Relations between ET and several environmental variables (incoming solar radiation, air tem-perature, relative humidity, soil moisture, and net radiation) were explored.
