Sentences with phrase «into evapotranspiration»

These parameters regulate processes such as plant carbon uptake by photosynthesis and how precipitation is separated into evapotranspiration to the atmosphere and river runoff.

The Budyko framework quantifies the partitioning of precipitation into evapotranspiration and runoff components.

Not exact matches

Their analysis reveals that the conversion of broadleaved forests to coniferous forests caused significant changes in evapotranspiration, the evaporation of water through leaves, and albedo, the amount of solar energy reflected from the Earth back into space.

Researchers used two methods to track groundwater levels, traditional water balance estimates — which take into account surface water inflow like rainfall and snow melt, soil moisture capacity and evapotranspiration — and data from NASA's twin satellite system called GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment).

The study accounted for evapotranspiration, which is water released into the air through plant transpiration and soil evaporation, as well as precipitation, and surface water flowing into and out of the Central Valley.

Soil moisture sensors show, over time, how much water has gone into the ground, and how much has left, either from drainage or in the form of evapotranspiration from plants.

► Evapotranspiration - The sum of water loss into the atmosphere due to evaporation and transpiration.

Global warming affects evapotranspiration — the movement of water into the atmosphere from land and water surfaces and plants due to evaporation and transpiration — which is expected to lead to:

Taking into account CO2 - induced changes in vegetation, global mean runoff under a 2 * CO2 climate has been simulated to increase by approximately 5 % as a result of reduced evapotranspiration due to CO2enrichment alone («physiological forcing»)(Betts et al., 2007; Leipprand and Gerten, 2006).

In warm, dry regions, irrigation increases the amount of water available for plants to release into the air through a process called evapotranspiration.

We find a close agreement between the CESM - based hindcasts and the Markov model, indicating that the largest contribution to the predictive skill of soil water on interannual to decadal timescales in CESM can be attributed to the damped persistence, which is partly governed by the evapotranspiration (Delworth and Manabe 1988), the total runoff, and the diffusion of soil moisture into the deeper soil levels as shown in the Eq.

The non-linearities are emergent properties of the complex interconnectivity of the many parts of the earth climate system — The presence and amplitude of El Nino changes the rainfall in the southeastern US, which affects evapotranspiration and cloudiness over the warm parts of the Atlantic, which affects the amount of sensible and latent heat which goes into the atmosphere, which the prevailing winds carry to Great Britain, and so on through a chain of events which eventually influence the barometric pressure differences between the Eastern and Western Pacific which drive the ENSO.

The situation is different in the tropics where higher temperatures result in higher rates of evapotranspiration, the process by which forests release water into the atmosphere.

Similarly, changes in terrestrial vegetation, such as the replacement of forests by tundra, feed back into the atmosphere via changes in both albedo and latent heat flux from evapotranspiration.
