Abstract:

General relationships for estimating canopy or bulk stomatal resistance and aerodynamic resistances of grass and alfalfa reference crops for use in the Penman-J.L. Monteith equation are presented. Resistance relationships are expressed as functions of mean plant height for simplification of estimation. The Penman-Monteith method performed similarly to the 1982 Kimberly Penman equation by J.L. Wright, with better fit to lysimeter data at some clipped grass sites.
