Biosphere-Atmosphere Regulations of Droughts Assessed Using Microwave and Solar-Induced Fluorescence Observations and Improved Plant Water Stress Representation

This project's goal is to develop a better representation of plant response to water stress and soil moisture in the Noah land surface model to constrain model uncertainty and improve the accuracy of drought prediction. This work will improve subseasonal to seasonal prediction, which is critical for water resource and ecosystem health forecasts.
