Characterizing drought severity using GRACE and TerraClimate datasets is globally important because it enables consistent, large-scale monitoring of both surface and subsurface water availability across data-scarce regions. This integrated perspective supports improved drought assessment, climate change impact analysis, and informed water [...]
