Spatio-temporal dynamics of evapotranspiration on the Tibetan Plateau from 2000 to 2010
<p>Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key process of the climate system because it links water, energy and carbon cycles. In this study we modified a Penman–Monteith based algorithm to estimate ET on the

Future increases in extreme precipitation exceed observed scaling rates
<p>Models and physical reasoning predict that extreme precipitation will increase in a warmer climate due to increased atmospheric humidity. Observational tests using regression analysis have reported
