  text: One of the greatest challenges facing environmental science is to better understand
    the impacts of predicted future changes in the terrestrial hydrological cycle.
    It has been recognized that human activities play a key role and must therefore
    be considered in future climate simulations. The representation of anthropization
    in land surface schemes within global earth system models is at a relatively nascent
    stage and must be improved for more accurate future projections of water resources.
    The understanding of the impact of anthropogenic processes has been hampered by
    the lack of consistent and extensive observations. Here, we present the Land surface
    Interactions with the Atmosphere over the Iberian Semi-arid Environment (LIAISE)
    project field campaign which brought together ground-based (surface energy budget
    estimated at 7 sites, 269 radio soundings made at 2 sites and multiple remote
    sensing instruments for profiling the lower atmosphere), airborne measurements
    (3 airplanes and numerous drones measuring surface and atmospheric properties)
    and satellite data (to derive estimates of irrigation timing, soil moisture, evapotranspiration
    and surface temperature) to improve our understanding of key natural and anthropogenic
    land processes and boundary layer feedbacks. The study area is in the Ebro basin
    of northeastern Spain in a hot, dry Mediterranean climate, with a sharp demarcation
    between a vast intensively irrigated region and a much drier rainfed zone to the
    east. Analysis of the observations reveal strong surface heterogeneities of evapotranspiration
    within the irrigated zone (differences upwards of approximately 7 mm day-1 between
    fields), linked to the crop type, vegetation phenology and soil moisture, all
    of which were modulated by irrigation. The significant surface flux differences
    between the irrigated and rainfed zones were found to result in strongly contrasting
    atmospheric boundary layer properties (between 2 supersites​ separated by 14 km)
    extending upwards through the lowest several km of the atmosphere.
