Modes of climate variability affect global and regional climates on different spatio-temporal
scales, and they have important impacts on human activities and ecosystems. As these …

Considerable progress has been made in dendroclimatological research in China during
the period 2000–2017, including a significant increase in the spatial coverage of tree-ring …

Freshwater resources are of high societal relevance, and understanding their past variability
is vital to water management in the context of ongoing climate change. This study introduces …

Water availability is fundamental to societies and ecosystems, but our understanding of
variations in hydroclimate (including extreme events, flooding, and decadal periods of …

Australian seasonal rainfall is strongly affected by large-scale ocean–atmosphere climate
influences. In this study, we exploit the links between these precipitation influences, regional …

Drought prediction is crucial, especially where the rainfall regime is irregular, such as in
Mediterranean countries. A new combined drought indicator (CDI) integrating rainfall, soil …

Abstract We present the European Russia Drought Atlas (ERDA) that covers the East
European Plain to the Ural Mountains from 1400–2016 CE. Like the Old World Drought Atlas …

High-resolution hydroclimate proxy records are essential for distinguishing natural
hydroclimate variability from possible anthropogenically-forced changes, since instrumental …

A continuous 305-year (1711–2016) monthly rainfall series (IoI_1711) is created for the
Island of Ireland. The post 1850 series draws on an existing quality assured rainfall network …

The dominant modes of variability of precipitation for the whole of China over the past
millennium and the mechanism governing their spatial structure remain unclear. This is …
