Drivers and impacts of changes in China's drylands
Abstract China has 6.6 million km2 of drylands that support approximately 580 million
people. These drylands are at risk of desertification. In this Review, the changes observed in …

MSWEP: 3-hourly 0.25 global gridded precipitation (1979–2015) by merging gauge, satellite, and reanalysis data
Current global precipitation (P) datasets do not take full advantage of the complementary
nature of satellite and reanalysis data. Here, we present Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble …

Increased future occurrences of the exceptional 2018–2019 Central European drought under global warming
Since the spring 2018, a large part of Europe has been in the midst of a record-setting
drought. Using long-term observations, we demonstrate that the occurrence of the 2018 …

Global land-surface evaporation estimated from satellite-based observations
This paper outlines a new strategy to derive evaporation from satellite observations. The
approach uses a variety of satellite-sensor products to estimate daily evaporation at a global …
