Causes of extreme ridges that induce California droughts

American Meteorological Society (AMS) | February 15th, 2017

Summary

California droughts are often caused by high-amplitude and persistent ridges near and off the west coast of North America without apparent connections with ENSO. Here wi

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

Climate change and the aridification of North America

National Academy of Sciences (NAS) | May 19th, 2020

Summary

Discussions of droughts and their impacts often center on the lack of precipitation, just as assessments of hydrologic impacts under a changing climate most ofte

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

Climate change, atmospheric rivers, and floods in California - a multimodel analysis of storm frequency and magnitude changes

American Water Resources Association (AWRA) | June 1st, 2011

Summary

Recent studies have documented the important role that “atmospheric rivers” (ARs) of concentrated near‐surface water vapor above the Pacific Ocean play in the storm

Climate Change, Atmospheric Rivers, and Floods in California – A Multimodel Analysis of Storm Frequency and Magnitude Changes

American Water Resources Association (AWRA) | June 1st, 2011

Summary

Recent studies have documented the important role that “atmospheric rivers” (ARs) of concentrated near‐surface water vapor above the Pacific Ocean play in the storm

Climate, Drought, and Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the Fourth California Climate Assessment

California Energy Commission (CEC) | August 27th, 2018

Summary

Daily temperature and precipitation over California at a resolution of 1/16° (about 6 km, or 3.7 miles) were generated to support climate change impact studies for the

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

Climatology and changes in internal intensity distributions of global precipitation systems over 2001-2020 based on IMERG

Journal of Hydrology (Elsevier) | March 11th, 2023

Summary

The internal intensity distributions of precipitation systems are closely related to precipitation dynamics. Understanding its climatology and changing characteristics is
