For a 19‐day period in July 1967, daily estimates of evapotranspiration were obtained from hourly calculations of the Bowen ratio above the forest canopy. The estimates ranged from 7.9 mm to 1.5 mm. The Bowen ratio was found to be very dependent on wind direction, sky condition, and basin aspect, which was a significant factor. Although the area is unhomogeneous, the results appear reasonable when compared with other estimates of evapotranspiration.
