Annual Evaporation in Japan
Evaporation is an index which is related to crop/plant production. In this study, evaporation (E) is calculated by the following equation.
E=R{1-exp(-RDI)}
R: total precipitation
RDI: Radiative Dryness Index proposed by Budyko (1980)
RDI=Rn/(L*R)
Rn: Total Net Radiation, L: Latent heat of evaporation (580 cal/gH
