Evaluating the strength of the land–atmosphere moisture feedback in Earth system models using satellite observations

The relationship between terrestrial water storage (TWS) and atmospheric processes has important implications for predictability of climatic extremes and projection of future climate change. In places where moisture availability limits evapotranspiration (ET), variability in TWS has the potential to...
