Soil Evaporation

The two main sub-folders are "Silty Sand" and "Lean Clay", which are representative regional soils of the Canadian Prairies. The sand is an inert soil that remains relatively unchanged with water content fluctuation, while the clay is an active soil that shrinks and swells with water. Each material has a "General Properties" sub-folder containing data used to make classifications that are independent of the pore fluid type. The "Water Pore Fluid" and "Saline Pore Fluid" contain "Specific Properties" sub-folders that contain data used to make classifications that are dependent on the pore fluid type. In addition, "Low Demand Evaporation" and "High Demand Evaporation" sub-folders contain data generated in the bench-scale atmospheric simulator (BAS2) and in ambient laboratory conditions. There are "3D Models" sub-folders containing all the data that was intermittently captured throughout the low demand evaporation experiments.
