Changes in Winter Atmospheric Rivers along the North American West Coast in CMIP5 Climate Models

American Meteorological Society (AMS) | April 1st, 2014

Summary

Most extreme precipitation events that occur along the North American west coast are associated with winter atmospheric river (AR) events. Global climate models h

Characterizing the spatial scales of extreme daily precipitation in the United States

American Meteorological Society (AMS) | October 1st, 2018

Summary

The spatial extent of an extreme precipitation event can be important for a basin’s hydrologic response and subsequent flood risk, and may yield insights into underlyi

Climate change contributions to future atmospheric river flood damages in the western United States

Nature Portfolio (Springer Nature) | August 12th, 2022

Summary

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) generate most of the economic losses associated with flooding in the western United States and are projected to increase in intensity with climat

Climate change intensification of horizontal water vapor transport in CMIP5

American Geophysical Union (AGU) | June 8th, 2015

Summary

Global warming of the Earth’s atmosphere is hypothesized to lead to an intensification of the global water cycle. To determine associated hydrological changes, most pr

Climatological Characteristics of Atmospheric Rivers and Their Inland Penetration over the Western United States

American Meteorological Society (AMS) | January 24th, 2014

Summary

Narrow corridors of water vapor transport known as atmospheric rivers (ARs) contribute to extreme precipitation and flooding along the West Coast of the United States, bu

Debris flow occurrence under changing climate and wildfire regimes: A southern California perspective

Geomorphology (Elsevier) | December 2nd, 2022

Summary

In southern California, wildfire incidents are increasing in frequency and magnitude. There is a great deal of research predicting the impact of climate change on large s

Distribution of Landfalling Atmospheric Rivers on the U.S. West Coast During Water Year 2018 Through April

Scripps Institution of Oceanography at U.C. San Diego | March 1st, 2018

Summary

Forty-four atmospheric rivers (ARs) made landfall on the West Coast during the 2018 water year through April compared to 68 the year before, report meteorologists Chad H
