Abstract
- The article offers information on a study which evaluates coincident changes under atmospheric moisture conditions, we used relative humidity and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) as quantitative measures of available moisture. It mentions that during droughts, low surface moisture may translate surface heating into warming, since excess energy will be converted into sensible heat instead of evaporating as latent heat.
