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:

Hydroclimatic and ecohydrological resistance/resilience conditions across tropical biomes of Costa Rica
Germain Esquivel-Hernández,Ricardo Sánchez-Murillo,Christian Birkel,Christian Birkel,Stephen P. Good,Jan Boll +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of hydroclimatic and eco-hydrological conditions across 6 major biomes in Costa Rica was conducted using the Budyko and the Tomer-Schilling frameworks.

Macroecology of parental care in arthropods: higher mortality risk leads to higher benefits of offspring protection in tropical climates.
TL;DR: It is revealed that additional lines of defences – an oftentimes neglected component of parental care – have an important effect on the covariation between the benefits of parents' care and the climate‐mediated mortality risk imposed by natural enemies.

Estimation of water consumption for ecosystems based on Vegetation Interfaces Processes Model: A case study of the Aksu River Basin, Northwest China.
TL;DR: The study demonstrated that the VIP model is able to supply important information for water resource management at the catchment-scale with good agreement between the VIP-ET and water balance model (WB)-ET in the Aksu River Basin.

Assessing Spatiotemporal Drought Dynamics and Its Related Environmental Issues in the Mekong River Delta
Thuong V. Tran,Thuong V. Tran,Duy X. Tran,Soe W. Myint,Pedro Latorre-Carmona,Duan D. Ho,Phuong H. Tran,Hung N. Dao +7 more
TL;DR: It was found that the temporal tendency of this phenomenon was the increase in intensity of drought, and that coastal areas in the study area were more vulnerable to this phenomenon.

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.

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

Journal Article
Evaporation and environment.
TL;DR: Progress towards a reconciliation of parallel concepts in meteorology and physiology is described, which stresses the importance of physiological restraint on the rate of transpiration from an irrigated field surrounded by dry land.
