Responses and impacts of atmospheric rivers to climate change
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 …

More frequent atmospheric rivers slow the seasonal recovery of Arctic sea ice
In recent decades, Arctic sea-ice coverage underwent a drastic decline in winter, when sea
ice is expected to recover following the melting season. It is unclear to what extent …

Antarctic atmospheric river climatology and precipitation impacts
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 …
