Responses of land evapotranspiration to Earth’s greening in CMIP5 Earth System Models

Responses of land evapotranspiration to Earth’s greening in CMIP5 Earth System Models

Satellite-observed Earth’s greening has been reproduced by the latest generation of Earth System Models (ESMs) participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). Land evapotranspiration (ET) is expected to rise with increasing leaf area index (LAI, Earth’s greening). The res...
