Abstract The Atmospheric River (AR) Tracking Method Intercomparison Project (ARTMIP) is
a community effort to systematically assess how the uncertainties from AR detectors …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are long, narrow synoptic scale weather features important for
Earth's hydrological cycle typically transporting water vapor poleward, delivering …

Despite the recent prevalence of severe drought, California faces a broadly
underappreciated risk of severe floods. Here, we investigate the physical characteristics of …

Atmospheric rivers are long and narrow bands of enhanced water vapour transport
concentrated in the lower troposphere. Many studies have documented the important role of …

Societies and ecosystems within and downstream of mountains rely on seasonal snowmelt
to satisfy their water demands. Anthropogenic climate change has reduced mountain …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) generate most of the economic losses associated with flooding in
the western United States and are projected to increase in intensity with climate change …

Temporally compounding atmospheric river (AR) events cause severe flooding and damage
in California. However, the contribution of temporal compounding to AR-induced loss has …

Atmospheric rivers play an integral role in the global water cycle, but predicting their future
changes remains uncertain due to inter-model and inter-detection-method differences …

Abstract The Sierra Nevada and Southern Cascades—California's snowy mountains—are
primary freshwater sources and natural reservoirs for the states of California and Nevada …

Atmospheric rivers often cause extreme precipitation at landfall, leading to floods. However,
the underlying physical mechanism of atmospheric rivers and their linkage with flooding in …
