Journal ArticleDOI
Global review and synthesis of trends in observed terrestrial near-surface wind speeds; implications for evaporation
Tim R. McVicar,Michael L. Roderick,Randall J. Donohue,Ling Tao Li,Tom Van Niel,Axel Thomas,Jürgen Grieser,Deepak Jhajharia,Y. Himri,Natalie M. Mahowald,Anna V. Mescherskaya,Andries Kruger,Shafiqur Rehman,Yagob Dinpashoh +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the literature to assess whether stilling is a globally widespread phenomenon and highlight the contribution of the aerodynamic and radiative components to these declining evaporation rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the importance of including vegetation dynamics in Budyko's hydrological model
TL;DR: In this paper, the Budyko curve's underlying framework is reviewed and an argument for why it is important to include vegetation dynamics into the framework for some purposes is presented, such as increasing annual and seasonal vegetation water use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of CO2 fertilization on maximum foliage cover across the globe's warm, arid environments
Randall J. Donohue,Michael L. Roderick,Michael L. Roderick,Tim R. McVicar,Graham D. Farquhar +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used gas exchange theory to predict that the 14% increase in atmospheric CO2 (1982-2010) led to a 5 to 10% increase of green foliage cover in warm, arid environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the ability of potential evaporation formulations to capture the dynamics in evaporative demand within a changing climate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined five formulations of potential evaporation, testing for how well each captures the dynamics in evaporative demand, and highlighted the need for spatially and temporally dynamic data describing all drivers of evapore demand, especially projections of each driving variable when estimating the possible affects of climatic changes on evapative demand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wind speed climatology and trends for Australia, 1975-2006: Capturing the stilling phenomenon and comparison with near-surface reanalysis output
Tim R. McVicar,Tom Van Niel,Ling Tao Li,Michael L. Roderick,David Rayner,Lucrezia Ricciardulli,Randall J. Donohue +6 more
TL;DR: McVicar et al. as discussed by the authors developed Australia-wide 0.01 resolution daily u grids by interpolating measurements from an expanded anemometer network for 1975-2006.
