Problem: Estimate the actual evapotranspiration rate (mm/day) for August 01,
2019 of a rice crop planted on June 15, 2019 given the following climatic
data:

Air temperature + 270C Relative humidity = 53%

Wind speed @ 5m height = 30kph Actual sunshine duration 535 min
Maximum sunshine duration = 620 min Albedo = 0.05

16. Compute: es – ea = ___________________________________________
17. Enter value of wind speed: u1 = ________mile/day at __________meters high
18. Obtain correction factor (Table 3.4 ): cf = ___________________________
19. Compute wind speed at 2 meters high: u = u1 x cf = _____________________
20. Compute: 1.0 + 0.01 u = __________________________________________
21. Compute: Ea = 0.35 x (16) x (20) = __________________________________
