USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2013–5014  - Evapotranspiration from Wetland and Open-Water Sites at Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, 2008

Table 6. Results of modeling daily evapotranspiration (ET) during the wetland growing season (May 1–September 30, 2008–2010, n = 457) at both sites using piecewise linear models of K_c, superseded by setting K_c = 1.5 during days of precipitation greater than 3 millimeters. 

[Slope and intercept are of ordinary least squares best-fit line between modeled and measured ET. Abbreviations: , mean evapotranspiration during the 2008–2010 growing seasons; mea, measured; mod, modeled; r ², coefficient of determination; CE, coefficient of efficiency; RMSE, root-mean-square-error; mm d^-1, millimeters per day]
