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 …

[HTML][HTML] Measuring compound flood potential from river discharge and storm surge extremes at the global scale
The interaction between physical drivers from oceanographic, hydrological, and
meteorological processes in coastal areas can result in compound flooding. Compound …

More meteorological events that drive compound coastal flooding are projected under climate change
Compound flooding arises from storms causing concurrent extreme meteorological tides
(that is the superposition of storm surge and waves) and precipitation. This flooding can …
