Abstract	A weather station was established on the dock of the Oregon State University Marine Science Center, Yaquina Bay, Oregon. A total of 197 weather observations was made from 30 June 1966 to 23 September 1966, with emphasis on the determination of the rate of evaporation from an evaporation pan and from atmometers. Sources of observational error were investigated and corrections applied as necessary. The daily variation in evaporation was determined. The correlation between wind, vapor pressure, and evaporation was found. Atmometers were used to estimate the evaporation from the surface of Yaquina Bay, and the possibility of using atmometers at sea was investigated.
