Short summary
Short summary
This study examines why river flows have declined and droughts have increased in a semi-arid river basin over the past forty years. We show that rapid warming has raised water loss, while changes in land and water use have reduced river flow. Together, these forces have intensified droughts since the early 2000s, highlighting rising water scarcity and the need for improved water management.

Short summary
A large number of simulations are conducted to investigate how different physical parameterization schemes impact surface wind simulations under stable weather conditions over the coastal regions of North China using the Weather Research and Forecasting model with a horizontal grid spacing of 0.5 km. Results indicate that the simulated wind speed is most sensitive to the planetary boundary layer schemes, followed by short-wave/long-wave radiation schemes and microphysics schemes.
