Influence of Micrometeorological factors for Actual Evapotranspiration in the Coastal Urban Area

Abstract:

Actual evapotranspiration(AET) in the coastal urban area was estimated and correlations between AET and meteorological factors were analyzed. The study was conducted in Suyeong-Gu lay at the east longitude 129°05′40″ ~ 129°08′08″ and north latitude 35°07′59 ″~35 °11′01″ from December 2001 to November 2011.

Four equations on land use were used to estimate AET. Land use types were classified by impermeable, forest, water and grass. AET was estimated by weighting of land use. AET increased from January to the middle of July and decreased from the middle of July to December.

Correlation analysis was conducted between AET and micrometeorological factors. Correlation coefficient of AET and dew point temperature was 0.63 and temperature, air pressure, duration of sunshine, net radiation were above 0.5.

Regression analysis was conducted between AET and micrometeorological factors. AET variation is divided by existence of precipitation. The regression functions of AET as air temperature were increased lineary at precipitation and exponential at non-precipitation. The regression functions of AET as dew point temperature were increased lineary at precipitation and exponential at non-precipitation. The regression function of AET as net radiation was increased exponential at precipitation and lineary at non-precipitation. The regression function of AET as air pressure was decreased lineary at precipitation and exponential at non-precipitation. The regression function of AET as precipitation was increased logarithmically.
