“…Through modulating the surface flux partitioning and corresponding diurnal ABL evolution, the prevailing evaporative regime can impact weather and climate, particularly so during extreme events like heat waves and droughts (Guillod et al, 2015;Hirschi et al, 2011;Koster et al, 2016;Koster et al, 2004;Taylor et al, 2012), which have severe implications for human health (Bogdanovich et al, 2022;Wouters et al, 2022). The other way around, the impact of extreme events on the land surface can also be modulated by the evaporative regime at hand (Hauser et al, 2016;Hirschi et al, 2011;Miralles et al, 2014b), such that a heat wave and a corresponding drought over water-limited land surfaces might reduce ET or other proxies related to vegetation functioning, but can be beneficial for energy-limited land surfaces (Flach et al, 2018;Zscheischler et al, 2014a).…”
