TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the variability of the thermohaline circulation (THC) in a long control simulation by the Met Office's Third Hadley Centre Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation Model (HadCM3) and showed that internal THC variability in the coupled climate system is concentrated at interannual and centennial time scales, with the centennial mode being dominant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that enhancement of poleward atmospheric moisture transport (AMT) decisively contributes to increased Eurasian Arctic river discharges, and that the trend of 2.6% net AMT increase per decade accounts well for the 1.8% per decade increase in gauged discharges and also suggests an increase in underlying soil moisture.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of climate change on the global hydrological cycle is investigated, with land precipitation and river discharges not increasing as expected, and tropospheric aerosols are found to have weakened the hydrologogical cycle between the 1950s and 1980s.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the traditional drought-prone regions would expand given the human-induced intensification of flash drought risk, and the exposure risk over China will increase by about 23% during the middle of this century under a socioeconomic scenario with medium challenge.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the decreasing temperature was compensated by the accelerated drying trends of soil moisture and enhanced ET, leading to an acceleration of flash droughts during the warming hiatus, and the anthropogenic warming in the next few decades may exacerbate future flash drought conditions in China.
