“…Many studies have yielded important insights into the effects of meteorological factors (e.g., air temperature, solar radiation, vapor pressure, and wind speed) on regional AED through correlation analysis (Irmak et al., 2012; Y. Li, Qin, et al., 2022; M. Liu et al., 2010; Valipour & Guzmán, 2022), regression analysis (Du et al., 2022; Fan & Thomas, 2018; Jerszurki et al., 2019; Y. Li, Qin, et al., 2022), sensitivity analysis (Guo et al., 2017; Jerszurki et al., 2019; Sharifi & Dinpashoh, 2014; Yang et al., 2019; Zeng et al., 2021; Zheng et al., 2009) and contribution assessment (Ding & Peng, 2021; Du et al., 2022; M. Li et al., 2018; X. Liu et al., 2011; Tang & Tang, 2021). For example, Tang and Tang (2021) used the partial differential method to assess the contribution of four meteorological factors to the AED in the Siberian basin, emphasizing the importance of saturation vapor pressure deficit and wind speed on the AED trend during 1975–2014.…”
