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 …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) have, in recent years, been recognized as the cause of the large
majority of major floods in rivers all along the US West Coast and as the source of 30%–50 …

The abrupt rise in extreme weather events (floods, heat waves, droughts, etc.) due to
changing climate in the last decades has increased the level of threats to various sectors …

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 …

Daily precipitation in California has been projected to become less frequent even as
precipitation extremes intensify, leading to uncertainty in the overall response to climate …

Abstract In most Mediterranean climate (MedClim) regions around the world, global climate
models (GCMs) consistently project drier futures. In California, however, projections of …

Atmospheric rivers—long, narrow filaments of large integrated water vapour transport—are
associated with weather and water extremes, such as precipitation extremes and flooding in …

A uniform, global approach is used to quantify how atmospheric rivers (ARs) change
between Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 historical simulations and future …

A new method for automatic detection of atmospheric rivers (ARs) is developed and applied
to an atmospheric reanalysis, yielding an extensive catalog of ARs land‐falling along the …

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 …
