Recent Advances in Hydrological Cycle Process: Evaporation and Precipitation
01About This Special Issue
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.
Aims and Scope:
- Hydrological cycle
- Evaporation and precipitation
