Agricultural drought over water-scarce Central Asia aggravated by internal climate variability
J. Jiang and T. Zhou
A severe agricultural drought in Central Asia has revealed shocking insights about the interplay between human activity and natural variability since 1992. This research by Jie Jiang and Tianjun Zhou uncovers how the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation has significantly influenced drying rates, emphasizing the urgent need for policymakers to adapt to these climate challenges.
