Multidecadal Changes in Atmospheric Dryness Over East Asia Dominated by Internal Climate Variability
Summer near‐surface vapor pressure deficit (VPD), a key measure of atmospheric dryness, has increased markedly across East Asia since 1980, yet the relative roles of external forcing and internal variability (IV) in its multidecadal changes remain unclear. Here we show that IV dominates East Asian VPD variability dur...
