Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to its Projected Area given Interception Loss Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area = (Interception Loss-Interception Storage)/(Evaporation Rate*Duration of the Rainfall)
K_i = (I_i-S_i)/(E_r*t)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area - Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area is the factor contributing to rainfall and levels off to a constant value for specified storms.
Interception Loss - (Measured in Millimeter) - Interception Loss is the portion of the precipitation that is returned to the atmosphere through evaporation from plant surfaces or is absorbed by the plant.
Interception Storage - (Measured in Millimeter) - Interception Storage is the ability of vegetation surfaces to collect and retain precipitation.
Evaporation Rate - (Measured in Millimeter per Hour) - Evaporation Rate is the rate at which a material vaporizes (or evaporates) from its liquid state to a vapor state.
Duration of the Rainfall - (Measured in Hour) - Duration of the Rainfall corresponding to rainfall depth is the total time during which the precipitation occurs.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Interception Loss: 8.7 Millimeter --> 8.7 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Interception Storage: 1.2 Millimeter --> 1.2 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Evaporation Rate: 2.5 Millimeter per Hour --> 2.5 Millimeter per Hour No Conversion Required
Duration of the Rainfall: 1.5 Hour --> 1.5 Hour No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_i = (I_i-S_i)/(E_r*t) --> (8.7-1.2)/(2.5*1.5)

Evaluating ... ...

K_i = 2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2 <-- Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area

What is Interception Loss?

Interception loss is the portion of the precipitation that is returned to the atmosphere through evaporation from plant surfaces or is absorbed by the plant. It is the difference between the precipitation occurring over an area and the part that reaches the soil.

What is Interception Storage?

Interception Storage is the water above the ground surface, mostly in vegetation, where vegetation is present, precipitation consists of gross rainfall measured above the canopy or in openings in a forest.
