Abstract:<p>The influence of moisture recycling and transport on major drought events is poorly understood, but essential to enhance our knowledge of the atmospheric water cycle. Here, we investigate this for two record-breaking droughts over the Mid-to-Lower Reaches of the Yangtze River (MLRYR), the winter-spring (WS) drought of 2011 and summer-autumn (SA) drought of 2019. Using a land&#8211;atmosphere water balance framework, we find the precipitation recycling ratio (the percentage of precipita… Show more
