What does a lysimeter measure?
Remember its primary purpose.
The Penman-Monteith equation is used for what?
Think about what data is needed for this estimate.
A researcher has data for temperature and crop coefficients over a growing season for a specific crop. Calculate the potential evapotranspiration using the Blaney-Criddle method.
Focus on how monthly averages could impact your calculations.
Design a study that compares the effectiveness of lysimeter measurements versus Penman-Monteith estimations in a semi-arid region with limited climate data.
Consider how environmental variations might influence your findings.
