The variability atlas: how internal climate variability affects the estimation of climate extreme indices, Brunner, Lukas, Mithal, Vidur, Borchert, Leonard F, Sillmann, Jana, Poschlod, Benjamin

Drought is a major constraint on freshwater availability, ecosystem functioning, and food security1,2,3,4, and its evolution under global warming remains a central concern in climate impact assessments5,6,7. Numerous studies have reported increasing drought severity and expanding drought-affected areas over recent decades8,9,10,11,12, drawing on converging evidence from multivariate atmospheric drought indices, which combine precipitation with atmospheric evaporative demand (potential evapotranspiration (PET), calculated from near-surface atmospheric variables) to infer surface drought conditions5,11,13, together with independent, hydrological evidence such as observation-calibrated soil moisture reconstructions14, remotely sensed terrestrial water storage15, and observed streamflow declines16. However, substantial quantitative uncertainties remain specifically in the magnitude of drought trends inferred from PET-based drought indices, as such inferences depend critically on how atmospheric evaporative demand is estimated17,18,19,20. Given that PET-based indices remain among the most widely used tools for characterizing large-scale, long-term drought variability owing to their global data coverage and standardized formulation, these uncertainties arguably affect our ability to anticipate future hydroclimatic impacts and complicate downstream adaptation decision-making. Beyond the qualitative consensus of drought intensification, whether hydroclimatic extremes are accelerating (i.e., intensifying at an increasing rate) has recently emerged as a pertinent scientific question, motivated by two related lines of evidence: recent reports that global surface warming...

From improving soil health to increasing water storage, it is essential that UK farms build resilience to future droughts and a changing climate, according to an expert from the Tyndall Centre for…

The slowdown in global average surface warming has recently been linked to sea surface cooling in the eastern Pacific Ocean. This work shows that strengthening trade winds caused a reduction in the 20...

RealClimate: A new paper undermines totally inaccurate claims in the DOE report. Readers will recall the litany of cherry picks, misrepresentations and evasions in the DOE "Climate Working Group" (CWG...

Abstract. We present version 2 of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature dataset, a global observational temperature record that now features enhanced spatial resolution (0.25° × 0.25°) and a new regr...

Every few years, climate modelling groups run a coordinated set of simulations that explore climate change in the future. Carbon Brief unpacks how the new scenarios were designed and how they differ.

The season’s mean temperature was made around 130 times more likely due to human-induced climate change.

A July 2025 DOE report claimed that there is no human fingerprint on the vertical structure of atmospheric temperature change This claim was based on a comparison of modeled and observed temperat...

There’s a good chance the cod on your child’s plate has been around the world and back. Not that you’d learn any of that from the label...

Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time. It is now more certain than ever, based on many lines of evidence, that humans are changing Earth’s climate.
