Abstract:High temperature extremes accompanied by drought have led to serious ramifications for environmental and socio‐economic systems. Thus, improving the predictability of heat‐wave events is a high priority. One key to achieving this is to better understand land‐atmosphere interactions. Recent studies have documented a hypersensitive regime in the soil moisture‐temperature relationship: when soil dries below a critical low threshold, called the soil moisture breakpoint, air temperatures increase at a greater rate … Show more
