Surface evaporation formula (Water Overlay)

Surface evaporation is calculated per cell.

Δh = min( h , Δt * E_w * E_o )

where:

• Δh = The amount of evaporation which takes place.
• Δt = Computational timestep.
• h = The amount of water on the surface. Also known as the water column.
• E_w = The evaporation rate of the weather.
• E_o = The SURFACE_WATER_EVAPORATION_FACTOR of the Water Overlay.
