Local linear quantile estimation for nonstationary time series (2009, background): “, Stanhill and Cohen (2001), Roderick and Farquhar (2002), Liepert et al. (2004), among others], which reduces the sun radiation and water evaporation on the surface and therefore reduces precipitation.”
Principles of Environmental Physics: Plants, Animals, and the Atmosphere (2013, background): “3) helps to explain the apparent contradiction that evaporation rates from such pans have declined since about 1950 although global temperatures have generally increased (Roderick and Farquhar, 2002).”
New findings about the complementary relationship- based evaporation estimation methods (2008, neutral): “While the modified AA model requires wind measurements in the Penman equation, the latter being employed for calculating Te even when the E estimation is based on apparent potential evaporation rates, it may be of certain advantage if one is interested in factoring out the relative contributions of ”
Enlightening Global Dimming and Brightening (2012, background): “They may further explain aspects of observed decadal variations in the surface hydrology, such as soil moisture and evaporation changes in energy-limited environments (Roderick and Farquhar 2002; Qian et al. 2006; Robock and Li 2006; Teuling et al. 2009; Wang et al. 2010).”
