Research Progress on Oceanic Moisture Deficit and Its Impact on Terrestrial Drought Under Anthropogenic Climate Change
Under the background of anthropogenic climate change,droughts are increasing and enhanced.However,oceanic moisture deficits have been neglected in previous studies of droughts.This paper mainly reviews recent progress on the relationship between oceanic moisture deficits and terrestrial droughts,including the occurrence of super-drought events in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River due to reduced oceanic moisture transport,the decline in mid-latitude Eurasian terrestrial water storage due to seasonally landfall and propagation of oceanic moisture deficits in the low-latitude North Atlantic,and the characterizes and landfalling processes of ocean-onto-land droughts exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change.The results are of great scientific values for understanding of the migration and landfall of oceanic moisture deficits and their impacts on terrestrial droughts under the background of anthropogenic climate change,which can also provide the scientific support for national decision-making on the adapting to climate change.
