Unravelling the mechanisms behind Multi-Year Droughts
Recent decades have seen a doubling in multi-year droughts around the world. With long-lasting impact on streamflow, groundwater and vegetation, these negatively affect agriculture, drinking water supply, hydropower, shipping and ecosystems as a result. The IPCC states that contrary to “normal” droughts, multi-year droughts cause abrupt changes that take years or decades to be reversed. Due to climate change, multi-year droughts are projected to become more frequent and longer, and potential recovery times between droughts will decrease. I hypothesise that the rise in multi-year droughts and their impacts is caused by stronger teleconnections between the atmosphere, ocean and land, enhanced…
