12 April, 2021 (Vishwakarma, erl, the_TVR_metric) Vishwakarma, B. D., Bates, P., Sneeuw, N., Westaway, R. M., & Bamber, J. L. (2021). Re-assessing global water storage trends from GRACE time series. Environmental Research Letters, 16(3), 034005. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/abd4a9
Message: the variability should be considered together with trend. The authors suggested to use a new metric, named trend to variability ratio (TVR), when evaluating the severity of the change in the terrestrial water storage observations from GRACE satellite.

Message: Soil moistureโatmosphere feedback dominates land carbon uptake variability The same as the title.
Novelty: putting the feedback concept in the discussion Many studies have reported various factors such as SMC, Tair, and VPD, as the driving the global NEE IAV. This study reconciles these conflicting results by introducing a new common label to the candidates.

Message: Semi-arid regions dominate the land-carbon-sink variability The take-home message was simple and strong. Semi-arid regions dominated the global variability of land carbon sink variability (both long-term trend and interannual variability).
