Evapotranspiration (ET) from the land surface is an important component of the terrestrial
hydrological cycle. Since the advent of Earth observation by satellites, various models have …

In a globally warming climate, observed rates of atmospheric evaporative demand have
declined over recent decades. Several recent studies have shown that declining rates of …

Reduced evaporation due to dry soils can affect the land surface energy balance, with
implications for local and downwind precipitation. When evaporation is constrained by soil …

Abstract The Brazilian Cerrado is one of the most biodiverse savannas in the world, yet 46%
of its original cover has been cleared to make way for crops and pastures. These extensive …

Accurate quantification of terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) is essential to understand the
Earth's energy and water budgets under climate change. However, despite water and …

Satellite based remote sensing offers one of the few approaches able to monitor the spatial
and temporal development of regional to continental scale droughts. A unique element of …

While large‐scale terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) information is essential for our
understanding of the Earth's water and energy cycles, substantial differences exist in current …

In just the past 5 years, the field of Earth observation has progressed beyond the offerings of
conventional space-agency-based platforms to include a plethora of sensing opportunities …

Even though knowing the contributions of transpiration (T), soil and open water evaporation
(E), and interception (I) to terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET= T+ E+ I) is crucial for …

Abstract The Brazilian Cerrado is a global biodiversity hotspot with notoriously high rates of
native vegetation suppression and wildfires over the past three decades. As a result, climate …
