Abstract
A survey is given of the meteorological aspects of evaporation in arid and semi-arid regions.
The main features of existing routine methods are discussed.
It is pointed out that most models for evaporation are developed for temperate crops. The main differences between temperate and (semi-)arid regions are described.
Special attention will be paid to the use of remote sensing techniques, for the determination of evaporation.
