Recent increasing frequency of compound summer drought and heatwaves in Southeast Brazil

Joao L. Geirinhas et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant increase in the number of compound summer drought and heatwave events in the states of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais in Southeast Brazil in recent years, especially during the summer seasons of 2013/14 and 2014/15. These events were mainly triggered by severe precipitation deficits and a higher occurrence of blocking patterns, leading to a high coupling regime and mega heatwave episodes.

Upgrading Land-Cover and Vegetation Seasonality in the ECMWF Coupled System: Verification With FLUXNET Sites, METEOSAT Satellite Land Surface Temperatures, and ERA5 Atmospheric Reanalysis

Miguel Nogueira et al.

Summary: This study found that limitations in land cover and vegetation seasonality representation in the ECMWF model led to large biases in simulated daily maximum land surface temperature. By updating the model with state-of-the-art Earth Observations data and a clumping parameterization method, the biases were reduced, with no impact on daily minimum land surface temperature. The study also emphasized regional heterogeneities in atmospheric sensitivity to land cover and vegetation changes, calling for model parameter recalibration and assumption revision.

Long time series of daily evapotranspiration in China based on the SEBAL model and multisource images and validation

Minghan Cheng et al.

Summary: Satellite observations of evapotranspiration are widely used in water resources management in China, but accurate high-resolution ET products are currently lacking. This study aimed to generate a long-term daily ET product using multiple image sources, evaluate the performance of the SEBAL ET algorithm in China, and compare it with the MOD16 ET product under different environmental conditions. The results showed that the SEBAL ET product had slightly higher accuracy than the MOD16 ET product, especially at the basin scale. Both models exhibited a negative bias, with SEBAL performing better overall.
