Abstract. The Iberian Peninsula is prone to drought due the high variability in Mediterranean climate with severe consequences for drinking water supply, agriculture, hydropower and ecosystem functioning. Because of complexity relevance droughts this region, it necessary increase our understanding temporal interactions precipitation, evapotranspiration soil moisture that originate from within E...

Terrestrial water storage (TWS) exerts a key control in global water, energy, and biogeochemical cycles. Although certain causal relationship exists between precipitation and TWS, the latter quantity also reflects impacts of anthropogenic activities. Thus, quantification of the spatial patterns of TWS will not only help to understand feedbacks between climate dynamics and the hydrologic cycle, ...

Serving as the successor to ERA-Interim dataset, a new global reanalysis (i.e., ERA5) has been released by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. However, evaluation of performance ERA5 in relation Tibetan Plateau (TP) remains lacking. Using situ eddy covariance observations from eight stations located on TP, this study evaluated uncertainties both and ERA-Interim. Results showed t...

Abstract. Soil water is a major requirement for biomass production and, therefore, one of the most important factors agriculture productivity. As agricultural droughts are related to declining soil moisture, this paper examines moisture drought in transboundary Koshi River basin (KRB) central Himalayan region. By applying J2000 hydrological model, daily spatially distributed derived entire over...

Abstract Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) instruments provide a powerful tool to investigate spatiotemporal variations in regional-scale terrestrial water storage based on the solid Earth's elastic response hydrologic loading signals. Here, we implemented an independent component analysis-based inversion method changes and hydrometeorological extremes (e.g., heavy precipitation drought...
