Vapour Pressure Deficit — Vapour Pressure Deficit, or VPD , is the difference (deficit) between the amount of moisture in the air and how much moisture the air can hold when it is saturated. Once air becomes saturated water will condense out to form clouds, dew or films… … Wikipedia
Penman equation — The Penman equation describes evaporation ( E ) from an open water surface, and was developed by Howard Penman in 1948. Penman s equation requires daily mean temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and solar radiation to predict E. Simpler… … Wikipedia
Global dimming — is the gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth s surface that was observed for several decades after the start of systematic measurements in 1950s. The effect varies by location, but worldwide it has been… … Wikipedia

Edge effect — An edge effect in biology is the effect of the juxtaposition of contrasting environments on an ecosystem. This term is commonly used in conjunction with the boundary between natural habitats, especially forests, and disturbed or developed land.… … Wikipedia
Simple Biosphere model — In climate modelling, the Simple Biosphere model is a model of the biosphere for use with atmospheric General Circulation Models (GCMs) that attempts to incorporate a biophysical realism in the formulation of the radiation balance and of energy… … Wikipedia
Penman-Monteith — Like the Penman equation, the Penman Monteith equation requires daily mean temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and solar radiation to predict net evapotranspiration. Other than radiation, these parameter are implicit in the derivation of… … Wikipedia
