Determine the impact of land-surface evapotranspiration and surface vegetation on global atmospheric circulation, temperature, and precipitation fields.
Simulated atmospheric dynamics and climate fields using a global numerical atmospheric circulation model.
Evaluated the response of planetary temperature, wind motion, and rainfall to land-surface evapotranspiration inputs.
Global fields of precipitation, temperature, and atmospheric motion depend strongly on land-surface evapotranspiration.
Surface vegetation serves as a primary driver of global climate regulation through evapotranspiration dynamics.
