A new parameterization is proposed by defining a locationdependent potential evaporation and surface temperature range to account for spatial variability of actual evaporation due to albedo and aerodynamic roughness. This was done by using a combination type equation which parameterizes actual evaporation in terms of internal and external resistances to heat and vapour flow. This equation was first re-arranged to get the air to surface temperature difference explicitly. Next, the asymptotic forms of this equation were derived by taking the limits for the internal resistance to vapour flow being zero and (o°). Having the maximum and minimum temperature differential for given values of albedo and aerodynamic roughness, a non-dimensional ratio was defined which varies between 0 (no évapotranspiration) and 1 (actual = potential evaporation) as a function of measured air to surface temperature difference. It is proposed to use air potential temperature at the top of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer instead of near surface air temperature. An example of application is presented.
