The average pan coefficient for United States Weather Bureau Class A pan is equal to:
Show Hint
- 0.95
- 1.1
- 0.7
- 0.2
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The pan coefficient (\(K_p\)) is used to convert evaporation measured from a pan to the equivalent evaporation over a larger water body. For the United States Weather Bureau Class A pan, the average pan coefficient is approximately 0.70, accounting for the differences in heat storage and energy exchange between the pan and a natural water body.
