A scaling approach to Budyko's framework and the complementary relationship of evapotranspiration in humid environments: case study of the Amazon River basin

This paper studies a 3-D state space representation of Budyko's framework designed to capture the mutual interdependence among long-term mean actual evapotranspiration (<i>E</i>), potential evapotranspiration (<i>E</i><sub>p</sub>) and precipitation (<i>...
