>real observations of the sea surface I suspect this effect is more relevant to plant transpiration, which has a massive effect on terrestrial rainfall patterns.[0] Do they use similar methodologies to capture land-based evapotranspiration? Does the resulting simplified model have inputs that allow it to capture real-world variations in this effect?
