Drying in the low-latitude Atlantic Ocean contributed to terrestrial water storage depletion across Eurasia
Total water storage in Eurasia can be driven by both climate variability and human activities, with the latter suggested as the key factor for water loss. However, here the authors show that drying in the low-latitude Atlantic Ocean is the dominant force in storage depeletion during 2003-2017.
