This research measures evaporation correction in meteorological pans fitted with bird screens, suggesting significant implications for data accuracy.
All class A evaporation pans operated by the Bureau of Meteorology are fitted with bird screens. The effect of the bird screen on evaporation was measured at four widely-spaced locations. The results, averaged over the four stations, indicated a correction of seven per cent to be added to monthly evaporation totals from screened pans.
