    1. Use of pan evaporation to estimate terrestrial evaporation trends: The case of the Tibetan Plateau

      Wilfried Brutsaert

      Article first published online: 22 MAY 2013 | DOI: 10.1002/wrcr.20247

      Key Points

      • Often decreasing pan evaporation means increasing terrestrial evaporation.
      • Past global dimming was likely too weak to cause wide decreased evaporation.
      • Often a decrease in wind speed, i.e. stilling, leads to increasing evaporation.
    2. Polynomial approximate solutions of a generalized Boussinesq equation

      Jeffrey S. Olsen and Aleksey S. Telyakovskiy

      Article first published online: 8 MAY 2013 | DOI: 10.1002/wrcr.20242

      Key Points

      • New analytical solutions to the generalized Boussinesq equation were obtained.
      • The approximate solutions reproduce exact solutions of the Boussinesq equation.
      • The approximate solutions compare favorably with the exact numerical solution.
