  2. Penman equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penman_equation

    The Penman equation describes evaporation (E) from an open water surface, and was developed by Howard Penman in 1948. Penman's equation requires daily mean temperature, wind speed, air pressure, and solar radiation to predict E. Simpler Hydrometeorological equations continue to be used where obtaining such data is impractical, to give comparable results within specific contexts, e.g. humid vs ...

  3. Liquid water content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_water_content

    Clouds that have low densities, such as cirrus clouds, contain very little water, thus resulting in relatively low liquid water content values of around .03 g/m 3.Clouds that have high densities, like cumulonimbus clouds, have much higher liquid water content values that are around 1-3 g/m 3, as more liquid is present in the same amount of space.

  4. Water content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_content

    Water content or moisture content is the quantity of water contained in a material, such as soil (called soil moisture), rock, ceramics, crops, or wood. Water content is used in a wide range of scientific and technical areas, and is expressed as a ratio, which can range from 0 (completely dry) to the value of the materials' porosity at ...

  6. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    Density of pure water at 60 °F = / or / [8] Note: There is no universal agreement on the exact density of pure water at various temperatures since each industry will often use a different standard. For example the, USGS says it is 0.99907 g/cm 3 . [ 9 ]

  7. Soil thermal properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_thermal_properties

    Apart from the basic soil composition, which is constant at one location, soil thermal properties are strongly influenced by the soil volumetric water content, volume fraction of solids and volume fraction of air. Air is a poor thermal conductor and reduces the effectiveness of the solid and liquid phases to conduct heat.

  8. Goff–Gratch equation - Wikipedia

    e * is the saturation water vapor pressure T is the absolute air temperature in kelvins T st is the steam-point (i.e. boiling point at 1 atm.) temperature (373.15 K) e * st is e * at the steam-point pressure (1 atm = 1013.25 hPa) Similarly, the correlation for the saturation water vapor pressure over ice is:

  9. Tait equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tait_equation

    Expressions as a function of temperature for the two empirical parameters and are given for water, seawater, helium-4, and helium-3 in the entire liquid phase up to the critical temperature . The special case of the supercooled phase of water is discussed in Appendix D of reference. [ 5 ]
