Soil moisture memory is a key aspect of land–atmosphere interaction and has major
implications for seasonal forecasting. Because of a severe lack of soil moisture observations …

Soil moisture–atmosphere feedback effects play an important role in several regions of the
globe. For some of these regions, soil moisture memory may contribute significantly to the …

Soil moisture is known to show distinctive persistence characteristics compared to other
quantities in the climate system. As soil moisture is governing land‐atmosphere feedbacks …

Although the global partitioning of evapotranspiration (ET) into transpiration, soil
evaporation, and canopy evaporation is not well known, most current land surface schemes …

Short-Term and Long-Term Surface Soil Moisture Memory Time Scales Are Spatially
Anticorrelated at Global Scales in: Journal of Hydrometeorology Volume 20 Issue 6 (2019) Jump …

In some regions of the world, soil moisture has a typical memory for atmospheric processes
and can also feed back to the latter. Thus, a better understanding of feedbacks between soil …

Water balance considerations at the soil surface lead to an equation that relates the
autocorrelation of soil moisture in climate models to 1) seasonality in the statistics of the …

A synthesis of several approaches to quantifying land–atmosphere interactions is presented.
These approaches use data from observations or atmospheric reanalyses applied to …
