Assessment of the capability to compute evaporation from Okanagan Lake, other mainstem lakes and basin lakes and reservoirs using the existing database / William M. Schertzer and Bill Taylor.: En83-9/08-547E-PDF

"Daily lake evaporation is computed for 6 of the largest Okanagan Basin Lakes over the period 1996-2006 through application of 19 models grouped according to input data requirements. Evaluation of the selected models was limited because of a lack of over-lake observations or lake-representative data for crucial required inputs. The models were forced with “existing " land-based meteorology, modeled water surface temperature, and 1971 heat content interpolations extended over all years"--Abstract, p. 12.
