Sea surface warming patterns drive hydrological sensitivity uncertainties

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 25 May 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01678-5

The drivers of uncertainties in hydrological sensitivity, the global-mean precipitation response to warming, are currently not well understood. Here the authors show that the spatial pattern of sea surface temperature warming explains much of this uncertainty and could allow to constrain projections.
