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:

Modeling plant–water interactions: an ecohydrological overview from the cell to the global scale
TL;DR: In this paper, the main processes and relevant interactions between water and plants across a range of spatial scales, from the cell level of leaves, where stomatal controls occur, to drought stress at the level of a single tree, to the integrating scales of a watershed, region, and the globe are presented.

Validation of MODIS 16 global terrestrial evapotranspiration products in various climates and land cover types in Asia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors validate global terrestrial MODIS ET in Asia, showing that a MODIS global terrestrial ET product can estimate actual evapotranspiration (ET) with reasonable accuracy.

Higher climatological temperature sensitivity of soil carbon in cold than warm climates
Charles D. Koven,Gustaf Hugelius,Gustaf Hugelius,David M. Lawrence,William R. Wieder,William R. Wieder +5 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that carbon turnover in the top metre of global soils is more sensitive in cold climates than in warm climates and argued that it is critical to capture this emergent ecosystem property in global-scale models.

TL;DR: In this paper, a forcing data set covering the period 2005-2007 was used to evaluate the performance of four algorithms: the Priestley-Taylor Jet Propulsion Laboratory model (PT-JPL), the Penman-Monteith algorithm from the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) evaporation product (PM-MOD), the Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS), and the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM).

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.

Summarizing multiple aspects of model performance in a single diagram
TL;DR: In this article, a diagram has been devised that can provide a concise statistical summary of how well patterns match each other in terms of their correlation, their root-mean-square difference, and the ratio of their variances.
