Recent Advances in Hydrological Cycle Process: Evaporation and Precipitation

01About This Special Issue

Water is the process of natural process, involving global water evaporation, atmospheric moisture transmission, surface water and groundwater circulation and various forms of water storage. Precipitation and evaporation and runoff are the hydrologic cycle the three major links, these three constitutions of water cycle way determines the global water balance. Water evaporation is one of the most important functions of produced by evaporation of water into the air and over atmospheric activities and sports. Atmospheric water vapor mainly comes from the ocean, part of that is from the mainland surface evaporation. Water vapor in the atmosphere of the cycle is evaporation-condensation-precipitation and the cyclical of evaporation process.
Evapotranspiration is an important flux term in the water cycle that integrates atmospheric demand and surface conditions, which serves as an important element of the hydrological cycle in reflecting the maximum water demand of environment to maintain water balance. Evaporation accounts for the movement of water to the air from sources such as the soil, canopy interception, and water bodies. Transpiration accounts for the movement of water within a plant and the subsequent loss of water as vapor through part of the water cycle. The evaporation is directly to the water balance and surface energy balance. Climate change not only have an impact on the hydrological cycle in both changing of precipitation and temperature and affecting the spatial and temporal changes of river runoff, but also change the ability of evaporation through different ways.
We invite contributions to this Special Issue on aspects listed in the keywords, covering recent advances and innovations in hydrological cycle process, which will direct interest to researchers and practitioners in the climate change, land surface process, water cycle and management.
