WATER SCIENCES BRANCH WATER MANAGEMENT DIVISION ALBERTA ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION JANUARY 1999SYNOPSIS Monthly potential and lake evaporation and potential and areal evapotranspiration for the period 1912 to 1996 are presented for 20 locations throughout Alberta. Evaporation and evapotranspiration are computed using F.I.Morton’s Complementary Relationship Lake Evaporation (CRLE) and Complementary Relationship Areal = Evapotranspiration © (CRAE) _— models, respectively. applications for use of evapotranspiration values are provided, including water balances, basin storage analyses and aridity factors. The text of this report is taken from the original report prepared by R.A. Bothe, P.Eng. Important notes: Lake Evaporation is - Shallow Lake Evaporation Potential Evaporation is - Potential Shallow Lake Evaporation Deep lake evapoariton has the same annual total as shallow lake evaporation, however it is redistributed throughout the year depending on a number of factors.
