Abstract
Evaporation is the process that liquid water in converted into water vapor. In order to evaporate water, Energy is required to change the state of the molecular of water from liquid to vapor, and direct solar radiation and the ambient temperature of the air provide this energy. Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) plays important roles in agriculture, ecology, and atmospheric chemistry. In practical reason, certain area only available PAR, however, to estimate reference evapotranspiraion, total solar radiation is required instead. This paper provides the conversion model from PAR to Total solar radiation, and its application to estimate reference evapotranspiration (Chapter 1), and Pan coefficient (Chapter 2). Conversion model perform well, especially practical purpose, and Simple form of model can be easily understood, and requires only minimum computing power, so using this model might provide resalable performance in field practical purpose.
