New paper "Surface temperatures reveal the patterns of vegetation water stress and their environmental drivers across the tropical Americas" published in Global Change Biology

In this paper led by Julia Green, geostationary satellites measuring land surface temperature were used to quantify the sensitivity of surface energy fluxes to radiation, precipitation and air dryness in the tropical Americas, as well as determine critical thresholds in precip and air dryness that affect carbon uptake via water stress. There is a lot of interesting facets to this paper, check it out here.
