Role of ocean evaporation in California droughts and floods
Abstract Since winter 2011, a record‐breaking drought has occurred in California. Studies found that the drought is mainly caused by a persistent high‐pressure system off the U.S. West Coast, which is linked to Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies. The water cycles associated with the droughts...
