Features: This book consists of five parts, totaling fourteen chapters. Part I is the introduction, outlining the academic and practical significance of studying evaporation phenomena, various measurement and calculation methods for free-surface evaporation and natural evaporation, as well as climatology of global water balance and heat. Part II covers lower atmospheric physics, including two chapters on the lower atmosphere, boundary layer, and roughness. Part III addresses the issue of Earth's energy budget, including energy flux and advection effects. Part IV focuses on methods and techniques, covering four chapters on turbulence methods, mean profile methods, mass balance, and energy balance. Part V, comprising five chapters, includes research on evaporation in China, water balance in various basins, applications in climatic zoning, and topics related to evaporation control. This book was previously taught at the Beijing Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is suitable for students and professionals in meteorology, hydrology, oceanography, atmospheric physics, physical geography, comprehensive assessment, and related scientific fields for reference and use.
