vegetation in units of depth (e.g., millimeters of H 2 O), which cannot be derived from any of its constituent indicators alone. They directly affect plant stomatal behavior, surface energy balance and water budgets of cropping systems ( Haghighi et al. 2018 ; Grossiord et al. 2020 ), and thus, are critical to analyze for agricultural applications. While fundamental climate variables are adequately analyzed, compound variables of agricultural relevance are not comprehensively addressed for Turkish

). The water balance describes the process by which water is partitioned across the landscape. According to water balance, the input volume from P is partitioned into evapotranspiration, runoff, and storage ( Black 1997 ; Milly 1994 ). From the concept of water balance, water available is the remnant of precipitation in the land surface after evapotranspiration has taken place. Evapotranspiration is dependent on the availability of water and the atmospheric water demand ( Budyko 1974 ; Roderick

surroundings in summer has generally decreased, especially since the 1990s, and it is not conducive to the occurrence of summer precipitation. Moreover, water vapor transport is not only an important part of the water resource cycle but also the most critical and direct factor affecting precipitation (e.g., Xu et al. 2014 ; Chu et al. 2019 ). Besides, the water vapor transport and precipitation are closely related to the regional water vapor budget (WVB). Although much knowledge about the WVB climatic

comparable to annual precipitation totals in the northeastern United States ( Huang et al. 2017 ), changes in LST values and subsequent evaporative losses have the potential to substantially modify precipitation in this downwind region, purely from a water balance perspective. Therefore, as modeling studies seek to understand the underlying causes for precipitation trends, and to provide accurate long-term forecasts in New England under anthropogenic climate change, it is important to examine whether LST

recommended product lifetime, even if no problems are detected ( McPherson et al. 2007 ). Observations from the mesonet have been extensively validated ( Scott et al. 2013 ) to ensure that all observations are of research quality. One limitation arises because of site placement within areas of uniform low-growing vegetation ( McPherson et al. 2007 ) as observations may not be representative of those over other land-cover types. 1) Mesonet soil moisture Fractional water index (FWI) is a normalized

canopy, and simple representation is used for heat and water exchanges among the atmosphere, soil, and vegetation compared to the former models. Some models ( Yamada 1982 ; Meyers and Paw U 1987 ) calculate the radiation transfer in canopy and the heat and water budget on leaves with multilayer vegetation representation. However, few models of this type include soil processes to deal with the heat and water exchanges between the atmosphere and the ground surface. A new atmosphere
