Sign in to savethumb|upright|Spherical porous cup atmometer An atmometer or evaporimeter is a scientific instrument used for measuring the rate of water evaporation from a wet surface to the atmosphere. Atmometers are mainly used by farmers and growers to measure evapotranspiration (ET) rates of crops at any field location. Evapotranspiration is a measure of all of the water that evaporates from land surfaces plus the water that transpires from plant surfaces. Based on the amount of water that does evaporate and transpire, the user can water crops correspondingly, which results in less water use and possibly

Evaporimeter, eller atmometer, är ett vetenskapligt instrument som används för att mäta hastigheten hos avdunstning. En ofta använd typ är Piche-evaporimetern. Tekniken uppfanns av antingen den holländske forskaren Pieter van Musschenbroek (1692 – 1761) eller den skotske matematikern och ingenjören John Leslie (1766 – 1832).
