Data caveat: the ESA-CCISM soil-moisture product has limited spatial coverage before 1993, so early-record soil-moisture results should be read with caution.

Evidence (1)

European summer drying largely driven by atmospheric circulation changes since the 1980s

has limited spatial coverage in the early part of the record, particularly before 1993 and results for this period should therefore be interpreted with caution
