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:

Time Series MODIS and in Situ Data Analysis for Mongolia Drought
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the air temperature anomaly (T anomaly) and the precipitation anomaly (P anomaly) were negatively (correlation coefficient r = −0.66) and positively (r = 0.81) correlated with the MDSI anomaly, respectively.

Soil Moisture Retrival Based on Sentinel-1 Imagery under Sparse Vegetation Coverage.
TL;DR: This study can provide method for real-time and large-scale detection of soil moisture content in arid areas and has applicability to derive surface soil moisture in the oasis region of arid regions.

TL;DR: The highest streamwater and rainwater solute concentrations occurred during the peak season of wildfires in Mato Grosso, suggesting that regional changes in atmospheric composition and deposition influence seasonal stream Solute concentrations.

Improving a distributed hydrological model using evapotranspiration‐related boundary conditions as additional constraints in a data‐scarce river basin
TL;DR: Wambura et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a model for agricultural landscape hydrology at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), Müncheberg, Germany.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional modeling of surface‐atmosphere interactions and their impact on Great Lakes hydroclimate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the control on atmospheric moisture simulated by a regional climate model (RegCM) with observations and reanalysis products for the Great Lakes region, and conclude that climate models, including those driving reanalyses, underestimate the observed surface-atmosphere feedbacks and their influence on regional hydroclimate.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

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.
