  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;determined&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;by the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;energy&lt;span&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;budget&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;method&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Mirror&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Lake&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;during the open water periods of 1982-1987. For all years,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;rates were low in spring and fall and highest during the summer. However, the times of highest&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;rates varied during the 6 yr.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;reached maximum rates in July for three of the years, in June for two of the years, and in August for one of the years. The highest&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;rate during the 6-yr study was 0.46 cm d&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;during 27 May-4 June 1986 and 15-21 July 1987. Solar radiation and atmospheric radiation input to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;lake&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and long-wave radiation emitted from the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;lake&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;were by far the largest&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;energy&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;fluxes to and from the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;lake&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and had the greatest effect on&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;rates.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Energy&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;advected to and from the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;lake&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;by precipitation, surface water, and ground water had little effect on&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;rates. In the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;energy&lt;span&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;budget&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;method&lt;span&gt;, average&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;rates are&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;determined&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;energy&lt;span&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;budget&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;periods, which are bounded by the dates of thermal surveys of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;lake&lt;span&gt;. Our study compared&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;rates calculated for short periods, usually ∼1 week, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;rates calculated for longer periods, usually ∼2 weeks. The results indicated that the shorter periods showed more variability in&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;evaporation&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;rates, but seasonal patterns, with few exceptions, were similar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
