This review surveys the basic theories, observational methods, satellite algorithms, and land
surface models for terrestrial evapotranspiration, E (or λE, ie, latent heat flux), including a …

Soil moisture is a key variable of the climate system. It constrains plant transpiration and
photosynthesis in several regions of the world, with consequent impacts on the water …

Mega-heatwaves are among the deadliest natural disasters in midlatitudes. During such
events, the atmospheric circulation is typically governed by persistent anticyclones, enabling …

Land–atmosphere (LA) interactions are a main driver of Earth's surface water and energy
budgets; as such, they modulate near-surface climate, including clouds and precipitation …

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 …

An index of the sensitivity of surface fluxes to soil moisture variations is defined that
elaborates on the correlation between soil moisture and fluxes to include the magnitude of …

Determining Robust Impacts of Land-Use-Induced Land Cover Changes on Surface Climate
over North America and Eurasia: Results from the First Set of LUCID Experiments in: Journal …

A review of remote sensing technology for lower tropospheric thermodynamic (TD) profiling
is presented with focus on high accuracy and high temporal‐vertical resolution. The …

A multiphysics and a stochastic kinetic-energy backscatter scheme are employed to
represent model uncertainty in a mesoscale ensemble prediction system using the Weather …

The inherent coupled nature of earth's energy and water cycles places significant
importance on the proper representation and diagnosis of land–atmosphere (LA) …
