Global assessment of trends in wetting and drying over land

TLDR
A comprehensive analysis of hundreds of combinations of data sets suggests that only 24.6% of the global land area has been exposed to robust dryness changes since 1948 as mentioned in this paper, which is the smallest proportion of the world's land area exposed to dryness change since 1948.

Influence of extreme weather disasters on global crop production

TL;DR: It is shown that droughts and extreme heat significantly reduced national cereal production by 9–10%, whereas the analysis could not identify an effect from floods and extreme cold in the national data, which may help to guide agricultural priorities in international disaster risk reduction and adaptation efforts.

Accelerated dryland expansion under climate change

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used historical data to bias-correct the Fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) projections, showing an increase in dryland expansion rate resulting in the drylands covering half of the global land surface by the end of this century.

GLEAM v3: satellite-based land evaporation and root-zone soil moisture

TL;DR: The Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM) as discussed by the authors is a set of algorithms dedicated to the estimation of terrestrial evaporation and root-zone soil moisture from satellite data.

More extreme precipitation in the world’s dry and wet regions

TL;DR: In this paper, extreme precipitation over land has increased over the wettest and driest regions and is likely to keep intensifying over the twenty-first century and this has key implications for dry regions, which may be unprepared for the potential related flooding.

On the Assessment of Surface Heat Flux and Evaporation Using Large-Scale Parameters

TL;DR: In this article, the large-scale parameterization of the surface fluxes of sensible and latent heat is properly expressed in terms of energetic considerations over land while formulas of the bulk aerodynamic type are most suitahle over the sea.
