Abstract: Water surface evaporation in windless environment was measured by wedge interference.Compared
with precision balance method,the results measured by wedge interference were slightly smaller,and the
fluctuation of data was slightly larger.But evaporation container was no need to be moved during the measurement
process of wedge interference.The measurement operations did not interfere with water surface evaporation.So,the
results of wedge interference are more accurate and reliable.The measurement of water surface evaporation by
wedge interference not only has high accuracy,but also is unaffected by operations.The measured evaporation
time can be shortened to less than 10 minutes.Wedge interference method realizes measurement of short-time-
interval water surface evaporation without operation interference in windless environment.
