Was Warming Amplified Under Drought Conditions Across China in Observations and Future Projections?

Abstract Concurrent hot extremes and droughts undoubtedly aggravate the impacts of on agriculture, natural environment, human society. Recent studies mainly focus trends changes in frequency severity compound drought extreme events. However, relatively little attention has been paid to mean temperature during conditions. In this study, we investigated observed projected periods across China a century time‐scale explored possible contributions land surface‐atmosphere interactions or atmospheric moisture conditions these changes. experienced reduced rather than amplified warming under both observations future projections. A drier condition higher emission scenario was result larger range future. We attributed temperatures increasing winter This study provides reference for water resource management, risk reduction, as well mitigation agricultural crop loss public health damage.
