The satellite based passive (radiometer) and active (radar) microwave sensors enhanced
our ability to retrieve soil moisture at global scales. It has been almost four decades since …

Simultaneous harvest failures across major crop-producing regions are a threat to global
food security. Concurrent weather extremes driven by a strongly meandering jet stream …

Rising air temperatures are a leading risk to global crop production. Recent research has
emphasized the critical role of moisture availability in regulating crop responses to heat and …

Soil moisture–atmosphere coupling (SA) amplifies greenhouse gas-driven global warming
via changes in surface heat balance. The Scenario Model Intercomparison Project projects …

Extreme events such as heat waves are among the most challenging aspects of climate
change for societies. We show that climate models consistently project increases in …

Land surface processes modulate the severity of heat waves, droughts, and other extreme
events. However, models show contrasting effects of land surface changes on extreme …

Abstract In late June 2021, western North America, and in particular the Pacific Northwest
experienced a heatwave with temperatures usually only encountered in hot desert climates …

Soil moisture plays a key role in the Earth's hydrological cycle and meteorological and
climatic processes. The information on soil moisture content is required for irrigation …

Abstract Heat conditions in North America in summer 2021 exceeded previous heatwaves
by margins many would have considered impossible under current climate conditions …

This study examines the impact of variation in root‐zone soil moisture (RZSM), a key
component of the Earth's hydrologic cycle and climate system, on regional carbon fluxes …
