Pre-Season Wet Soil Produces Fire-Prone Conditions

by Guiling Wang 13 February 202413 February 2024

The SMAP satellite shows that wetter-than-normal soil five months prior to wildfires in the western United States increases fuel availability and fire activity when desiccation occurs.

Warming Reduces Relative Humidity Through Soil Moisture 

by Guiling Wang 10 October 202310 October 2023

Relative humidity over land decreases in a warmer climate as a result of interactive soil moisture response.

Wet Conditions Delay Wildfire Detection

by Guiling Wang 29 August 202328 August 2023

When accompanied by a considerable amount of rainfall, ignition of wildfire by lightning over forested land may not be detected until days later.

Greening of Loess Plateau Increases Water Yield

by Guiling Wang 3 May 20232 May 2023

Vegetation restoration over the Chinese Loess Plateau can enhance atmospheric moisture convergence, increasing the precipitation enough to compensate for the vegetation water consumption.

Global Models Underestimated Groundwater Recharge and Discharge

by Guiling Wang 24 January 202324 January 2023

A new estimate for global groundwater recharge by rainfall and snowmelt, which dictates the upper limit of sustainable groundwater use, doubles the previous estimates from global models.

Upwind Forest Buffers Rondonia Cropland Against Regional Drought

by Guiling Wang 27 April 20216 December 2021

During severe Amazonia droughts when oceanic supply of moisture failed, the magnitude of rainfall reduction over Rondonia was moderated by enhanced moisture supply from upwind forests.
