ENSO dominates multi-decadal dynamics in terrestrial evaporation
Submitted by eva on Tue, 2013-12-17 17:50
A recent study funded by the European Space Agency has just been published in Nature Climate Change (Miralles et al., 2013). The work uses satellite data of terrestrial evaporation (ET), together with independent observations of soil moisture and NDVI, to uncover a strong link between ET and the dynamics of the El Niño-La Niña cycle.
