Abstract
Evaporation and energy balance components were measured and estimated for the American Falls reservoir of SE Idaho during 2004. The energy balance for this reservoir that stores snow-melt is dominated by water heat storage that consumes more than one-half of net radiation during the growing season. Evaporation fluxes from the reservoir average less than 40% of alfalfa reference ET, which indicates relatively efficient water storage. Some general relationships between albedo as sensed by satellite and water turbidity and among air and water temperature are presented that may be useful in satellite-based simulation of the energy balance and evaporation processes from the reservoir.
