The amount of water that evaporates and spreads into the air
Evaporation capacity(evaporation)The process of water changing from liquid or solid to gas and escaping into the atmosphere is called evaporation.Evaporation refers to the amount of water dispersed into the air through evaporation in a certain period of time, usually expressed in millimeters of the thickness of the evaporated water layer. The water evaporation amount of water surface or soil is differentevaporatordetermination.Generally, the higher the temperature, the lower the humidity, the greater the wind speed, and the lower the air pressure, the greater the evaporation capacity;On the contrary, the evaporation capacity is smaller.Determination of soil evaporation and water surface evaporationagricultural productionAnd hydrology.Rainfall is scarceGroundwater sourceAnd areas with little inflow runoff, such as large evaporation, are prone to drought.

Macro significance
Evaporation capacity
Evaporation makes the water on the ground rise to the air, while rainfall and snowfall make the water in the air fall to the ground.They are not only two opposite processes, but also two interdependent processes.If the water on the ground no longer evaporates into the air, there will be no rain or snow on the earth in 10 days.
Evaporation is not only interdependent with precipitation, but also related to rivers on the ground.In extremely arid areas, precipitation is very small.Its actual evaporation is equal to the precipitation.There is no river on the ground, not even a small dry ditch.This is the case in our desert areas.At the source or upstream of the river, the precipitation there is greater than the actual evaporation.This excess water forms a river and slowly flows along the valley into the ocean or lake.In any natural basin, its evaporation, precipitation and river flow are basically balanced.The formula is: any oneClosed basin: precipitation falling into the basin=evaporation+river water flowing out of the basin.
Meteorologic significance
All weather stations have evaporation data, which is often quoted by people.People often use the comparative data of precipitation and evaporation to explain how dry a place is. In fact, there are problems with this statement.Provided by many regionsDataIt shows that the local evaporation is far greater than the precipitation.But if it were true, human beings would have been unable to survive there.The terrain of the earth's surface is complex. In a region or even a county, there are often desert, oasis and mountain areas.In mountainous areas, precipitation is far greater than evaporation;staydesertAnd in the desert, basically how much water can be loweredevaporationHow many?In oasis, although evaporation is greater than precipitationsurface runoffSupplement, or suitable for human survival.
In very humid areas, the evaporation measured by the meteorological station is about 60% of the natural evaporation.Therefore, it is still possible to use it to roughly analyze the difference of evaporation.However, there is a serious deviation between the evaporation measured by meteorological stations in arid areas and the actual evaporation.
For example, XinjiangTurpan BasinOfToksun The annual evaporation measured by the meteorological station is 3.7 meters.Some people say that the evaporation capacity there is amazing.However, the actual situation is thereAnnual precipitationLess than 1cm thick.So localnatural conditionThe maximum evaporation capacity that can be provided under is 1 cm.This is 370 times less than 3.7m.
It is obviously distorted to describe the evaporation measured by meteorological stations as the actual evaporation in arid areas.The evaporation is actuallyEvaporation panIntermediate surveyThe data obtained only show the evaporation capacity of this area, not the actual evaporation capacity.The meteorological department should change the evaporation capacity of the meteorological station to evaporation capacity, which will reduce people's misunderstanding.When people quote evaporation data, they first understand its exact meaning, which will also avoid this misunderstanding.

global warmingEvaporation in some areas decreases instead of increasing
according toIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)The latest report shows that the global temperature has increased by 0.6 ± 0.2 ℃ on average in the past 100 years.Therefore, it is expected that global warming may dry the atmosphere, leading to an increase in water evaporation on land.On the contrary, pan evaporation in many areas has shown a significant downward trend.The reason is related internationallyExpert statementNot one.Peterson, a famous American climatologist, and others attributed the decline in pan evaporation tocloudinessIncrease of;Brutsaert et al. believed that the decrease of pan evaporation was due to the increase of ground evaporation;Michael from all over the worldDaily temperature rangeBased on the fact of becoming smaller, it theoretically explains that the decrease of pan evaporation is mainly due tosolar radiationCaused by the reduction of quantity;Stanhill and Cohen, on the other hand, believe that the increase of cloud cover and aerosol is the main reason for In recent years, the decrease of global solar radiation.In comparison, although there are many achievements in the calculation of evaporation in China, there are few studies on the changes and causes of evaporation, and many studies are limited toLocal areas, and adoptedSurvey stationThere are few data, so it is difficult to form a systematic and comprehensive theory.
Therefore, a large amount of station data and longtime scale It is necessary to study the change trend and causes of pan evaporation in China.stayNational Natural Science Foundation of ChinaGeneral itemsandNatural Science Foundation of Jiangsu ProvinceIn the "Research on the Change Characteristics and Causes of Pan Evaporation in China in the Past 45 Years" funded by the project, Shen Shuanghe and others analyzed the measured data of 20 cm diameter pan at 472 meteorological stations in China from 1957 to 2001Small evaporating dishThe change trend of evaporation and its reasons.
Change trend Evaporation decreases by 34.12mm every decade
Through the statistics and calculation of the data, Shen Shuanghe found that although the annual average temperature in China during the 45 yearsAnnual increaseThe trend of 0.2 ℃ increases, but the pan evaporation generally decreases by 34.12 mm every 10 years.Among them, the rate of decline and the range of decline are the largest in summer, 15.59 mm per 10 years, followed by spring and autumn, with no obvious change in winter."This change trend is generally consistent with that of the world," Shen Shuanghe explained. "The temperature increase is mainly concentrated in winter. For many regions, the summer temperature, which accounts for a large proportion of the total annual evaporation, does not rise but falls, which leads to a significant decline in the annual evaporation."
From the perspective of regional distribution, the significant increase in pan evaporation is only concentrated in a few areas, such as the northern part of the Great Khingan Mountains and the Beishan Mountains;The areas with the greatest decline are concentrated in the east, northwest north, south andTibetsouth.
Shen Shuanghe passed thePenman formulaAfter analyzing the energy balance term and aerodynamic term, it is believed that the decline of pan evaporation in the east is mainly due to the significant reduction of the energy provided for evaporation, while the decline of pan evaporation in the west is mainly for evaporationPower downCaused by.JustMeteorological factorIn his opinion, when the wind is weak, the airflow is slow,Evaporation surfaceOfwaterVapor is not easy to be brought into the atmosphere. When sunlight decreases, the evaporation surface receives less energy, the kinetic energy of water molecules decreases, and the diffusion of water vapor slows down. In this way, the evaporation capacity of the evaporating pan decreases.
Therefore, he proposed that the main reason for the decrease of pan evaporation was the decrease of wind speed and sunshine hours.“Xiaoxing'an MountainsThe increase in pan evaporation is mainly due to the significant increase in temperature in this area, while the sunshine and wind speed are not significantly reduced. "He used oneCounterexampleTo explain.
May affect the change of water cycle and water resource distribution
The fact that "evaporation in most regions of China is declining" will affectwater cycleWhat impact does it have on agriculture, forestry and other related fields?Shen Shuanghe explained that the decrease of pan evaporation in most regions of China can be ruled out as a result of the decrease of temperature, the increase of ground evaporation andAir humidificationIt should be attributed to the reduction of sunshine and wind speed.Therefore, the decrease of pan evaporation may have some impact on the component of water cycle, such as the decrease of ground evaporationWater vapor transmissionThe precipitation will also change accordingly.yesagricultural productionFor example, it will lead to farmlandEvapotranspirationWeakening, cropwater use efficiency Increase and alleviate drought to some extent.In addition, ChinaNortheast ChinaThe pan evaporation has increased to a certain extent. In addition, the temperature has increased significantly. On the one hand, it can expand the agricultural planting areacrop yield And forestsCarbon sequestrationandWood stock;On the other hand, the increase of water consumption may have a certain impact on the local water cycle and water resource distribution.

Common instruments
Evaporation capacity
The commonly used instruments for measuring evaporation are smallevaporator, large evaporation drums andEvaporation panAnd so on.
Small evaporatorIt is a round metal basin with a diameter of 20 cm and a height of about 10 cm,Pelvic orificeIt is in the shape of a knife edge. In order to prevent birds and animals from drinking water, the upper part of the mouth is covered with a metal wire mesh ring that is stretched outward into a trumpet shape.When measuring, put the instrument on the shelf, with the mouth 70cm above the ground, and put quantitative clean water every day. After 24 hours, measure the remaining water volume with a measuring cup. The reduced water volume is the evaporation capacity.
The large evaporation barrel is a cylindrical barrel with an opening area of 0.3 square meters. A straight pipe is installed at the center of the bottom of the barrel and the upper end of the straight pipeMeasuring needleSeat and water surface indicator pin, the barrel body is buried in the ground, and the barrel mouth is slightly higher than the ground.Observe at 20:00 every day and insert the measuring probePincushion, read the water surface height, andprecipitationCalculate evaporation.
Evaporation capacity
The specifications of evaporating dishes are mostly the same asRain gaugeSimilarly, it is also a round vessel with a diameter of 20 cm, and the upper edge of the vessel mouth is 70 cm higher than the ground.The evaporating dish is 10 cm deep.It is because its thickness is less than the diameter that it is called a dish.Add 2cm deep water layer to the evaporating dish every day, and pour the remaining water into the evaporating dish at nightMeasuring cup, measure the remaining water depth.Subtract the remaining water depth from 20cm to get the evaporation of the day.If there is rain on that day, the remaining water will also be deducted from the precipitation on that day.This is why the diameter and height of the evaporating pan should be consistent with that of the rain gauge.Otherwise, the two cannot be simply subtracted.
Situation handling
When the measurement of evaporation is affected by non-human factors or human factors, people can adopt the following methods:
1. Due to precipitation and other natural reasons, the evaporation capacity isnegative(No matter how many negative values), it is recorded as 0.0.There is no need to comment in this case.
2. If the evaporation is negative due to human factors, it shall be treated as lack of measurement.
Evaporation capacity
4. If the station who is not on duty at night finds that the evaporating pan water (snow) is indeed overflowing the next morning, the pan can beInternal water(Snow) Pour it out, add 20mm clean water again, and add parentheses to the evaporation capacity of the day, and indicate it.
5. Considering the phenomenon of fog, dew and frostevaporatorOn water (ice) surface andRain gaugeThe condensation state on the metal surface is different, so the amount of pure fog, dew and frost is not considered in the calculation of evaporation.
6. When the station located on an island or high mountain is really hit by evaporation pan water and strong windBlow outThe records shall be enclosed with brackets and noted.
7. The evaporator is frozen, and the sand frozen in the ice cannot be removed, so it can be weighed and recorded as usual.However, the water shall be changed immediately after observation.
8. No special evaporationPlatform scaleThere is no ordinary platform scale station with the unit of gram. When the evaporator freezes, the following methods can be used to deal with the evaporation capacity to ensure the integrity of ten day and monthly records.
The column of evaporation on each icing day (icing during observation) is marked with "B", and the total amount of this section is measured and calculated on the day when the ice melts, and recorded in the column of evaporation on the observation day.butIcing periodTo enter the next ten day period, a certain amount of warm water must be added to melt the ice at 20:00 on the last day of this ten day period for observation. The amount of warm water added is deducted from the measured value, and the calculated evaporation amount is recorded in the column of evaporation amount on the observation day.The above situations shall be noted in the remarks column of the book and table.
9. When the E-601 evaporator encounters icing, mark "B" in the column of evaporation on each icing day. After the ice melts on a certain day, measure the total amount since the stop of measurement and record it in the column of evaporation on that day;If the ice turns into the next month, the total amount since the suspension of measurement will be measured when the next month melts, by dayAverage distributionThe accumulated value obtained shall be recorded in the column of evaporation on the last month and this month melting day respectively, so as to obtain a complete monthly calculation value, which shall be noted in the column of remarks in the sheet.
Since evaporation and precipitation are both observed at 20:00 every day, the daily evaporation and precipitation measured are actually the amount from 20:00 yesterday to 20:00 today, rather than the amount from 24:00 yesterday to 24:00 today.
data processing
The evaporation amount indicates the water branching out condition of the area.However, due to the dynamic and thermodynamic conditions of the evaporator itself and its surrounding airNatural waterIt is different. The evaporation measured by the evaporator is more thanlakeThe evaporation capacity of actual water bodies such as reservoirs is large.Therefore, the evaporator'sObservationsIt must be multiplied by a reduction factor (generally 0.7-0.8) before it can be used as the evaporation capacity of natural water bodies.The spatial variation of evaporation is affected by temperature, land and sea, precipitation and other factors.The lower the latitude, the higher the temperature, the stronger the evaporation capacity, and the greater the evaporation capacity;Under the same temperature, the evaporation on the ocean is greater than that on the mainland, and has a significant decrease trend from coastal to inland;Generally speaking, where there is more precipitation, there is also more evaporation. On the contrary, there is less evaporation.Whether a place is wet or dry depends on the placeWetting coefficientK,The formula is K=P/E, where P is precipitation and E is evaporation.KGreater than or equal toAt 1 o'clock, it indicates that the water income is greater than or equal to the expenditure, which belongs to the wet condition;When K is less than 1, it reflects that water income is not enough to spend, and it belongs to semi humid, semi-arid or arid.K size, pairnatural landscapeThe formation of structural characteristics has a profound impact.
Natural measurement
weather stationThe method of measuring evaporation is simple and easy.If the daily measured evaporation is added up, the annual evaporation can be obtained.Weather stations all over the country do this.We also know the annual evaporation throughout the country.But this method has disadvantages: it can not fully represent the real evaporation capacity of nature, and sometimes it has a very large deviation.The diameter of the evaporating dish is too small, resulting in a large evaporation capacity.Other naturalUnderlying surfaceSome are dry and some are wet, and there are swamps, farmland, lakes or oceans.These different underlying surfacesActual evaporationObviously, they are different.
In order to study evaporation under different natural conditions, people also choose evaporation dishes with larger diameters or measure evaporation from soil, water, farmland and even leaves.These evaporation measurement methods are complex in technology and high in cost, and only a few test stations can carry out them.In addition, some formulas are also studied to calculate evaporation indirectly.

Evaporation capacity
Evaporation is reduced by 34.12mm every decade.Through the statistics and calculation of data, it is found that although the annual average temperature in China has increased by 0.2 ℃ every 10 years in the past 45 yearsEvaporation panOn the whole, evaporation decreases by 34.12mm every 10 years.The research is only based on the analysis of the observation data of meteorological stationsRepresentativenessAnd reliability are paid more attention, so the contribution of urban development (including building height and density, environmental and air pollution, etc.) to the weakening of wind speed, the reduction of sunshine, and the rise of temperature needs further research.
Nature is really a wonderful machine. It has both storms and silenceEvaporation process。Have you ever thought that without evaporation, there would be no rain in the sky, no rivers, no plants and animals.
The evaporation process connects the rivers on the ground, the vegetation and landscape on the earth, and our agriculture, forests and grasslands.On a large scaleDiversion irrigation、south-to-north water diversionWhen planting trees and protecting the environment, a scientific analysis should be made of the changes in evaporation caused by each step.Correct understandingEvaporation processAnd evaporation law have very important theoretical and practical significance for the protection, utilization and transformation of nature.
