Improvements to a MODIS global terrestrial evapotranspiration algorithm
TLDR
In this article, an improved version of the global evapotranspiration (ET) algorithm based on MODIS and global meteorology data has been proposed, which simplifies the calculation of vegetation cover fraction, calculating ET as the sum of daytime and nighttime components, adding soil heat flux calculation, improving estimates of stomatal conductance, aerodynamic resistance and boundary layer resistance, separating dry canopy surface from the wet and dividing soil surface into saturated wet surface and moist surface.About:

Disentangling Climate and LAI Effects on Seasonal Variability in Water Use Efficiency Across Terrestrial Ecosystems in China
Yue Li,Hao Shi,Lei Zhou,Derek Eamus,Alfredo Huete,Longhui Li,James Cleverly,Zhongmin Hu,Mahrita Harahap,Qiang Yu,Qiang Yu,Liang He,Shaoqiang Wang +12 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a partial least squares regression-based sensitivity algorithm to confront the issue, which was first verified at seven ChinaFlux sites and then applied across China. But it is difficult to distinguish the individual effects of climatic variables and leaf area index (LAI) on WUE, mainly due to the high collinearity among these factors.

Hydrological Modeling and Runoff Mitigation in an Ungauged Basin of Central Vietnam Using SWAT Model
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-approach technique was used to calibrate the hydrological model in three time scales: daily, monthly and yearly by river discharge, actual evapotranspiration (ETa) and crop yield, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecogeographical gradients in plumage coloration among Australasian songbird clades
TL;DR: The consistent relationship the authors observed between vegetation and dorsal brightness supports a primary role for countershading and background matching in Gloger's rule, and species may respond to the shorter and less predictable breeding seasons of arid environments by evolving increased ornamentation.

Overview of the radiometric and biophysical performance of the MODIS vegetation indices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the performance and validity of the MODIS vegetation indices (VI), the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index(EVI), produced at 1-km and 500-m resolutions and 16-day compositing periods.

C. H. B. Priestley,R. J. Taylor +1 more
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.
