Generally, the sensitivity of the earth's climate is determined by the energetic processes of the "fast climate system". The fast climate processes are manifested by clouds, insolation, precipitation, soil characteristics (moisture), vegetation, state of water resources, and the coupling processes between land surface moisture in (1) the partitioning of energy flux between latent and sensible heat, (2) interpreting precipitation variability; and (3) providing knowledge on infiltration and runoff, and its impact on energy and water budgets.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - fast%20climate%20system
