Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are characterized by intense moisture transport, which, on landfall,
produce precipitation which can be both beneficial and destructive. ARs in California, for …

Precipitation over and near mountains is not caused by topography but, rather, occurs when
storms of a type that can occur anywhere (deep convection, fronts, tropical cyclones) form …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow, elongated, synoptic jets of water vapor that play
important roles in the global water cycle and regional weather/hydrology. A technique is …

The Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) is sensitive to short‐term extreme meteorological events that
can leave long‐term impacts on the continent's surface mass balance (SMB). We investigate …

California's highly variable climate and growing water demands combine to pose both water-
supply and flood-hazard challenges to resource managers. Recently important efforts to …

In the semiarid Southwestern USA, wildfires are commonly followed by runoff-generated
debris flows because wildfires remove vegetation and ground cover, which reduces soil …

We review the major conceptual models of atmospheric moisture transport, which describe
the link between evaporation from the ocean and precipitation over the continents. We begin …

The most important sources of atmospheric moisture at the global scale are herein identified,
both oceanic and terrestrial, and a characterization is made of how continental regions are …

Extreme precipitation and floods in Europe are a recurring natural hazard causing large
socioeconomic damages. Here we investigate the connection between annual maxima (AM) …

This study quantifies the impact of atmospheric rivers (ARs) on precipitation in southern
South America. An AR detection algorithm was developed based on integrated water vapor …
