Abstract: AbstractPast cold climates are often thought to have been drier than today on land, which appears to conflict with certain recent studies projecting widespread terrestrial drying with near-future warming. However, other ...

Abstract: AbstractDrought has severe consequences for humans and their environment, yet we have a limited understanding of the drivers of drought across the full range of time scales on which it occurs. Here, the atmosphere and ocean ...

Abstract: ancontinental droughts in North America, or droughts that simultaneously affect a large percentage of the geographically and climatically distinct regions of the continent, present significant on-the-ground management ...

Abstract: ultidecadal drought periods in the North American Southwest (25°?42.5°N, 125°?105°W), so-called megadroughts, are a prominent feature of the paleoclimate record over the last millennium (LM). Six forced transient simulations ...

Abstract: imulated hydroclimate variability in millennium-length forced transient and control simulations from the ECHAM and the global Hamburg Ocean Primitive Equation (ECHO-G) coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation model ...

Abstract: AbstractMultidecadal hydroclimate variability has been expressed as ?megadroughts? (dry periods more severe and prolonged than observed over the twentieth century) and corresponding ?megapluvial? wet periods in many regions ...
