Hi:

There are classic works on soil evaporation but could be of some help.

Black, T.A., Gardner, W.R. and G.W. Thurtell. 1969. The prediction of
evaporation, drainage and soil water storage for a bare soil, Soil Science
Society of America Journal. 33: 655-660.



Boesten, J.J.T.I. and L. Stroosnijder. 1986. Simple model for daily
evaporation from follow tilled soil under spring conditions in a temperate
climate. Neth. J. Agric. Sci. 34: 75-70.
