Declining terrestrial water storage is associated with changes in effective hydrological memory and drought buffering

Drought impacts in large river basins depend not only on precipitation deficits but also on how terrestrial water storage (TWS) buffers climate anomalies through hydrological memory, which is the persistence of past storage conditions. In this study, we quantify this as the “effective hydrological memory,” measured...
