Many studies have shown that greenhouse gas (GHG)-induced global warming may lead to
increased surface aridity and more droughts in the twenty-first century due to decreased …

Higher evaporative demands and more frequent and persistent dry spells associated with
rising temperatures suggest that drought conditions could worsen in many regions of the …

We revisit the issue of the response of precipitation characteristics to global warming based
on analyses of global and regional climate model projections for the 21st century. The …

This review examines the role of the atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) in drought.
AED is a complex concept and here we discuss possible AED definitions, the subsequent …

The likelihood of future drought is studied on the basis of two drought indices calculated
from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies general circulation model (GISS GCM) transient …

Historical records of precipitation, streamflow and drought indices all show increased aridity
since 1950 over many land areas,. Analyses of model-simulated soil moisture,, drought …

Recently analyzed satellite-derived global precipitation datasets from 1987 to 2006 indicate
an increase in global-mean precipitation of 1.1%–1.4% decade− 1. This trend corresponds …

Abstract Since 2019, Central South America (CSA) has been reeling under drought
conditions, with the last 4 months of 2022 receiving only 44% of the average total …

Climate models project increases in globally averaged atmospheric specific humidity that
are close to the Clausius–Clapeyron (CC) value of around 7% K− 1 whilst projections for …

Drought is projected to become more severe and widespread as global warming continues
in the twenty-first century, but hydroclimatic changes and their drivers are not well examined …
