     abstract = "{Global warming has altered the thermodynamic and dynamic environments of
        the climate system, thus affecting the energy budget and water
        cycle process of the land-atmosphere system. Under changes in
        key hydrological elements such as precipitation, runoff, and
        terrestrial water storage, future drought variation remains a
        complex question. Existing studies have utilized terrestrial
        water storage anomaly (TWSA) in drought monitoring and
        assessment, but they usually focused on either drought duration
        or intensity, overlooking the multi-faced attributes of droughts
        as well as their socioeconomic impacts under a non-stationary
        condition. In this study, we first identify dry/wet conditions
        over China using GRACE/GRACE-FO satellite observations, and then
        evaluate the feedback effects of humidity and energy factors
        (e.g., sensible heat flux, latent heat flux, atmospheric
        relative humidity, and convective available potential energy) to
        drought events. Future changes in TWSA and dry/wet conditions
        are projected by eight Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project
        Phase 6 (CMIP6) global climate models (GCMs) under three shared
        socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), with their biases corrected by a
        trend-preserving quantile mapping method. The time-varying
        Copula function of drought duration and intensity is constructed
        by a moving windows method, and future bivariate drought risks
        are quantified with the most likely realization method. The
        population and GDP affected by increasing drought risks are
        finally quantified based on the SSPs data. It is found that the
        land-atmosphere coupling effects closely interact with drought
        evolution, and the uneven distribution of water resources is
        projected to be further aggravated, with most areas of China
        will be threatened by continuous drying tendency. By the end of
        the century, the duration of moderate, severe and exceptional
        droughts in some regions of China will double, and the drought
        intensity will increase by over 80\%. For the 50-year bivariate
        droughts during the historical period, their occurrence may
        increase by 5{\textendash}10 times in several regions, and might
        affect about 35{\textendash}55\% of China's population and GDP
        at the end of 21st century.}",
