abstract = {Evapotranspiration (ET) is, after precipitation, the second
largest flux at the land surface in the water cycle and
occurs mainly during daytime. Less attention has been given
to water fluxes from the land surface into the atmosphere
during nighttime (i.e., between sunset and sunrise). The
nighttime ET (ETN) may be estimated based on models that use
meteorological data; however, due to missing experimental
long‐term data, the verification of ETN estimates is
limited. In this paper, the amount of ETN for two grassland
ecosystems was determined from highly temporally resolved
and precise weighing lysimeter data. We found that annual
ETN ranged between $3.5\%$ and $9.5\%$ of daytime annual ET
(ETD) and occurred mainly during wet soil and canopy surface
conditions, which suggests that ETN is largely related to
evaporation. ETN was positively correlated with wind speed.
Dew formation, ranging from $4.8\%$ to $6.4\%$ of annual
precipitation, was in absolute terms larger than ETN. The
prediction of ETN with the Penman‐Monteith model improved
if the aerodynamic and surface resistance parameters were
based on vegetation height observations and the nighttime
stomatal resistance parameter was assumed to be zero. The
occurrence of hot days during the observation period showed
to increase average ETN rates. Our results suggest that ETN
can be observed with precision weighing lysimeters, was a
not negligible component in the water balance of the
grassland ecosystems, and thus needs more attention when
simulating land surface hydrological processes.},
