Journal ArticleDOI
Global warming and 21st century drying
TL;DR: In this paper, the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) were used to evaluate global drying and wetting trends in the twenty-first century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Projected drought risk in 1.5°C and 2°C warmer climates
Flavio Lehner,Sloan Coats,Thomas F. Stocker,Thomas F. Stocker,Angeline G. Pendergrass,Benjamin M. Sanderson,Christoph C. Raible,Christoph C. Raible,Jason E. Smerdon +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate changes in aridity and the risk of consecutive drought years using multiple drought metrics and a set of simulations with the Community Earth System Model targeting 1.5°C and 2°C above preindustrial global mean temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
North American megadroughts in the Common Era: reconstructions and simulations
Benjamin I. Cook,Benjamin I. Cook,Edward R. Cook,Jason E. Smerdon,Richard Seager,A. Park Williams,Sloan Coats,David W. Stahle,José Villanueva Díaz +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the natural drivers of multidecadal megadroughts and find that they are not caused by the time history of volcanic or solar forcing, but rather by internal atmospheric variability, sea surface temperatures, and land surface and dust aerosol feedbacks.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the principal proxy data available for hydroclimatic reconstructions over the Common Era (CE) and last-millennium model simulations is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are Simulated and Observed Twentieth Century Tropical Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Trends Significant Relative to Internal Variability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed historical trends in the tropical Pacific zonal sea surface temperature gradient (SST gradient) using 41 climate models (83 simulations) and 5 observational datasets.
