Abstract
A simple negative exponential function is presented which relates soil water storage to a maximum storage value (field capacity) and accumulated potential water loss. This formula summarizes 10 tables from Thornthwaite and Mather (Publications in Climatology, 10: 183–311, 1957) needed to calculate actual evapotranspiration (AET). Comparisons are presented for values predicted by this formula and Thornthwaite and Mather's tabulated values.Keywords
