| As part of
its agroclimatic activity, the San Joaquin District has been measuring
U.S. Weather Bureau Class ‘A’ pan evaporation, air temperature,
precipitation, wind movement, and solar radiation from agroclimatic stations
located in irrigated pasture environments near Bakersfield and at California
State Univeristy at Fresno. The data is arranged in monthly tables.

Note: Agroclimatic station records depict actual measured
U.S.W.B. Class Pan evaporation. Pan evaporation reported in the Crop Water
Use Reports is the pan evaporation used to calculate estimated crop evapotranspiration.
The crop water use is an estimate of annual evapotranspiration, a very
important component in hydrologic investigations. The surrounding environment
around evaporations pans is critical for obtaining quality evaporation
measurements. At locations where environments do not meet standardized
criteria, severe weather events may require adjustments to pan measurements
(based on correction tables) before estimating crop evapotranspiration.
