Description

Much of the world’s rainfall is triggered by the transport of moisture along corridors high up in the atmosphere. Through fresh analysis of historical climate data, Luis Gimeno-Sotelo and colleagues at the University of Vigo have shown for the first time how the causes of certain droughts can be directly linked with a lack of moisture being transported along these corridors. Their results could help climate scientists to better predict when and where droughts will occur in the future.
