Combining GRACE and Kalman filter to get superior evapotranspiration estimates
Knowledge gaps in our understanding of the Hydrological Cycle The water cycle continuously provides us with fresh water. A critical process in the water cycle is evapotranspiration (ET), meaning that water evaporates from the surface and transpires from plants into the atmosphere. ET plays a crucial role in climate stability and the regulation of global …[Read More]
