Abstract
The paper describes the results of estimations of potential evapotranspiration (Ep) in Iceland using Penman9s equation. The calculations are based on distribution maps for global radiation for the period 1958-1967 previously developed by the author, and meteorological data from 28 weather stations for the same period. The distribution of Ep for the year and for the summer (April-September) are mapped. Further, the difference between precipitation and potential evapotranspiration (P-Ep) is calculated and mapped for the year as a whole and for the two periods April-September and May-August according to the values of Ep and precipitation normals (P) for the years 1931-1960.Keywords
