One of the Direct ET evaluation is by LYSIMETERS which I hope the scientist is aware off. There are many type of LYSIMETERS  are available, particularly Electronic type with high precision of ET to 0.1mm may be monitored.This will also help in Climate Crop Water Balance studies.Many good references are available which may be tried.
