Short summary
The determination of the coefficient α in the Priestley–Taylor equation is empirical. Based on an atmospheric boundary layer model, we derived a physically clear and parameter-free expression to investigate the behavior of α. We showed that the temperature dominates changes in α and emphasized that the variation of α with temperature should be considered for long-term hydrological predictions. Our works advance and promote the most classical models in the field.
