Multi-decadal trends in global terrestrial evapotranspiration and its components

Y Zhang, JL Peña-Arancibia, TR McVicar, FHS Chiew… - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
Evapotranspiration (ET) is the process by which liquid water becomes water vapor and
energetically this accounts for much of incoming solar radiation. If this ET did not occur …
