Long-term pan evaporation observations as a resource to understand the water cycle trend: case studies from Australia

Jed Oliver Kaplan

Acceleration of the global water cycle over recent decades remains uncertain because of the high inter-annual variability of its components. Observations of pan evaporation (E-pan), a proxy of potential evapotranspiration (ETp), may help to identify trends ...
