TL;DR: In this paper, the seasonal patterns of water vapor and sensible heat flux along a tropical biome gradient from forest to savanna were investigated, and the authors found that evaporation rates increased in the dry season, coincident with increased radiation and soil moisture.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed evapotranspiration data for three wet and two seasonally dry rain forest sites in Amazonia and found that evapOTranspiration in the dry season is higher than that in the wet season.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and broadband solar irradiance (Rs) was analyzed and three different models of increasing complexity were developed based on information from RSS and clearness index.

TL;DR: The carbon and water cycles for a southwestern Amazonian forest site were investigated using the longest time series of fluxes of CO2 and water vapor ever reported for this site, found to have a net carbon uptake of ≈5 t C ha−1 year−1, but the effects of the drought of 2005 were still noticed in 2006, when the climate disturbance caused the site to become a net source of carbon to the atmosphere.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the eddy covariance method to measure fluxes of carbon dioxide, sensible heat and latent heat in a tropical forest area in South West Amazon.
