Increase in ocean-onto-land droughts and their drivers under | ResearchBunny

Abstract

Ocean-onto-land droughts (OTLDs), droughts originating over oceans and migrating onto land, have intensified due to anthropogenic climate change over the past 60 years. Under a high-emissions scenario, OTLDs are projected to become more frequent, persistent, widespread, and severe globally. Intensified OTLDs are linked to reduced moisture transport driven by atmospheric thermodynamic responses to global warming and circulation pattern shifts.
