Examples
-
Our simple script is logarithmic (remember our example of adding more shades over a window) but does not allow for complete saturation of radiative wavelengths, likely increases in evapo-transpirative cooling, increases in albedo (bright clouds reflecting more incoming solar radiation) nor any variation by latitude and so will progressively overestimate potential warming from CO2 alone.

You know this kind of day, from bitter experience: The evapo-day.
The evapo-day Joel Achenbach 2010
-
The problem with the evapo-receipts raises the more general issue of whether we're becoming a society of ephemera -- a culture in which nothing is built to last.
-
Argan woodlands perform multiple environmental roles, particularly in soil erosion prevention, providing shade and shelter from the effects of extreme evapo-transpiration, water filtration and aquifer replenishment facilitation and, overall, in buffering the region from desertification.

If a tree has plenty of moisture, it can cool itself through evapo-transpiration.

Grass lawns, if kept green all year in a climate like Chapala's, are a particularly wasteful use of water - their "rough" surface, and huge surface area, considering every individual blade of grass, greatly augment evapo-transpiration (the combination of evaporation and transpiration from living plants).

The relation between dry matter production and the amount of water evapo-transpired could be calculated from the soil water measurements.

But in summer, the shade improves the micro-climate reducing evapo-transpiration and so no pruning in summer is advised.

She used to throw herself upon the bed and lie there in the dark, not thinking, not feeling, but evapo - rating.
