This study provides an updated dynamical analysis of the observed climate conditions
during the longest, most severe and continuous drought (2012–2016) ever recorded in …

Various studies have identified that between 2012 and 2017, Brazil's semiarid region
suffered severe drought. However, few studies have analyzed whether this drought also …
