This review examines the role of the atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) in drought.
AED is a complex concept and here we discuss possible AED definitions, the subsequent …

In a globally warming climate, observed rates of atmospheric evaporative demand have
declined over recent decades. Several recent studies have shown that declining rates of …

The northeast region (NER) of India covers an area of 0.26 million km2. This region is one of
the highest rainfall-receiving regions on the planet. Consequently, it has huge water and …

Complicated topography can drastically affect the geographical distribution of evaporation,
runoff production, water cycle, and water security guarantee. However, whether the …

Abstract Changes in rainfall affect drinking water, river and surface runoff, soil moisture,
groundwater reserve, electricity generation, agriculture production and ultimately the …

This research investigates spatiotemporal variations in ETo and the controlling factor of
those variations using the modified Mann-Kendall test, empirical Bayesian kriging model …

Temporal variations in reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and aridity index (AI) were
comprehensively investigated for 23 meteorological stations during 1955–2008 in the …

Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is an important parameter for characterization of the
hydrological cycle, and it is also important for agricultural, environmental and other studies …

The drawdown trend of the water level in Urmia Lake poses a serious problem for
northwestern Iran which has had negative impacts on agriculture and industry. This research …
