Coherent Mechanistic Patterns of Tropical Land Hydroclimate Changes by Suqin Q. Duan, Kirsten L. Findell, Stephan A. Fueglistaler

“…The transform from geographical space to this novel process‐oriented phase space allows for interpretation of local, daily mechanistic relationships between key hydroclimatic variables in the context of time‐mean and/or global‐mean energetic constraints and the wet‐get‐wetter/dry‐get‐drier paradigm. Results from 16 CMIP models show coherent patterns of change in the AI/SM phase space that are aligned with the established soil‐moisture/evapotranspiration regimes. …”
