Predictions of floods, droughts, and fast drought‐flood transitions are required at different
time scales to develop management strategies targeted at minimizing negative societal and …

Water resources are critical to the sustainability of life on Earth. With a growing population
and climate change, it is imperative to assess the security of these resources. Over the past …

Severe and persistent 21st-century drought in southwestern North America (SWNA)
motivates comparisons to medieval megadroughts and questions about the role of …

Abstract During the period 2018–2020, Europe experienced a series of hot and dry weather
conditions with significant socioeconomic and environmental consequences. Yet, the …

Reduced evaporation due to dry soils can affect the land surface energy balance, with
implications for local and downwind precipitation. When evaporation is constrained by soil …

Satellite based remote sensing offers one of the few approaches able to monitor the spatial
and temporal development of regional to continental scale droughts. A unique element of …

Quantifying the spatial and interconnected structure of regional to continental scale droughts
is one of the unsolved global hydrology problems, which is important for understanding the …

We project drought losses in China under global temperature increase of 1.5° C and 2.0° C,
based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and the Palmer …

Distortion of the water cycle, particularly of its extremes (droughts and pluvials), will be
among the most conspicuous consequences of climate change. Here we applied a novel …

To characterize future drought events over a drought prone area like South Asia is
paramount for drought risk mitigation. In this paper, a five-model ensemble mean from …
