John,

Sounds interesting.

We provide access to the NCEP models broadcast in NOAAPORT.  Some of these
models contain precipitation and humidity fields, but I don't know of any
off of the top of my head that have evaporation fields.  We also distribute
the high resolution model output that is also available from NCEP FTP
sites.  I can't tell you if these data have evaporation fields, but they
should have precipitation and humidity fields.

Thanks, Tom, for your reply.  - John
