     abstract = "{The climate anomalies in the Amazon River Basin (ARB) have significant
        implications for global climate change. Studying the
        characteristics of droughts in the ARB can enhance our
        understanding of the region's response to climate change. In
        this study, we successfully constructed a continuous 30-year
        dataset of terrestrial water storage changes (TWSC) by
        integrating multiple satellite gravity data sources. This
        dataset was then used to investigate the dynamic characteristics
        of droughts in the ARB between 1993 and 2022. The results show
        that the TWSC series derived from multi-source satellite gravity
        data is highly suitable and reliable for the study region.
        During the study period, nine extreme drought events occurred in
        the ARB. The 2015{\textendash}2016 drought stood out as the most
        severe (with a severity index of ‑19.08) and longest in duration
        (14 months). Spatially, the eastern region exhibited the highest
        drought severity, peak intensity, and event duration, while the
        northern and southern basin areas recorded the highest drought
        frequency. In terms of seasonal patterns, autumn saw the highest
        drought severity and frequency, as well as the longest
        durations, whereas spring witnessed the peak severity of
        droughts. Although trends in drought peak intensity, severity,
        and duration showed no significant directional shifts, drought
        frequency followed a distinct sinusoidal pattern. Notably,
        drought peak intensity and frequency generally trended downward,
        while severity and duration trended upward. The northern region
        was particularly notable, displaying marked upward trends in
        drought severity, duration, and frequency {\textendash} with the
        fastest rates of increase at ‑0.72 per year (severity index),
        0.44 months per year (duration), and 1.26\% per year
        (frequency), respectively.}",
