             abstract = "The Pantanal region in South America is one of the worlds largest 
                         wetlands. Since 2019, the Pantanal has suffered a prolonged 
                         drought that has spelled disaster for the region, and subsequent 
                         fires have engulfed hundreds of thousands of hectares. The lack of 
                         rainfall during the summers of 2019 and 2020 was caused by reduced 
                         transport of warm and humid summer air from Amazonia into the 
                         Pantanal. Instead, a predominance of warmer and drier air masses 
                         from subtropical latitudes contributed to a scarcity of summer 
                         rainfall at the peak of the monsoon season. This led to prolonged 
                         extreme drought conditions across the region. This drought had 
                         severe impacts on the hydrology of the Pantanal. Hydrometric 
                         levels fell all along the Paraguay River. In 2020, river levels 
                         reached extremely low values, and in some sections of this river, 
                         transportation had to be restricted. Very low river levels 
                         affected the mobility of people and shipping of soybeans and 
                         minerals to the Atlantic Ocean by the Hidrovia 
                         -Paran{\'a}-Paraguai (Paran{\'a}-Paraguay Waterway). This study 
                         is directed to better understand the hydroclimatic aspects of the 
                         current drought in the Brazilian Pantanal and their impacts on 
                         natural and human systems. As a consequence of the drought, fires 
                         spread and affected natural biodiversity as well as the 
                         agribusiness and cattle ranching sectors. While fires had serious 
                         socioecological and economic consequences, we do not intend to 
                         investigate the effect of the downstream low-level waters on the 
                         Pantanal ecosystems or the drought in the risk of fire.",
