Yueyang Chen: Atmospheric moisture recycling in the Sudd region and its influence on the neighboring regions

<p dir="ltr">Hydrological research has traditionally emphasized how precipitation is partitioned at the surface into evapotranspiration and runoff. Yet, more than half of global terrestrial evaporation returns as precipitation over land, underscoring the importance of atmospheric feedbacks that link land processes with regional and global water cycles. Human-driven changes, such as deforestation, irrigation, urbanization, and greenhouse gas emissions, alter both the surface partitioning of water and the atmospheric supply of moisture through complex feedbacks and teleconnections. These interactions fundamentally reshape the distribution and intensity of precipitation and the resilience of hydrological systems under climate change.</p>
