The cloud-radiative forcing of the U.S. landfalling atmospheric rivers
<p>Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow channels in the atmosphere that transport an enormous amount of moisture from the tropics to the higher latitudes. Streaks of highly reflective clouds are observed along with the ARs in satellite imagery. These clouds both influence the moisture transport of …

Analysis of Variability in Atmospheric River Characteristics in New Zealand from 1940 through 2023
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are long, narrow corridors of concentrated atmospheric moisture that transport water vapor from the tropics to the middle latitudes where they can drive extreme precipitation and flooding. They have become especially important for New Zealand where ARs are critical for …

Multi-scale features of atmospheric rivers and the linkages with local-scale hydrological impacts on the U.S. West Coast
Atmospheric rivers (ARs), defined as filamentary structures of strong water vapor transport in the atmosphere, are an important component of the hydrologic cycle and are characterized by a multi-scale nature. On the one hand, ARs are embedded in the planetary-scale Rossby waves and account for the …
