Changes in land evaporation shape the climate

Accurate estimation of how much water is evaporated from the vegetated land surface is a challenging task. A physical-based method—such as the complementary relationship (CR) of evaporation, which explicitly accounts for the dynamic feedback mechanisms in the soil-land-atmosphere system and requires minimal data—is advantageous for tracking the ongoing changes in the global hydrological cycle and relating them to historical base values.
