Jul 11, 2019 · This book presents the latest research on one of the most urgent climatological phenomena faced by world governments, universities, industries and future generations, and provides specific information on atmospheric rivers to help practitioners understand and explain their scientific basis.

The book presents the history of atmospheric-rivers research, the current state of scientific knowledge, tools, and policy-relevant (science-informed) problems that lend themselves to real-world application of the research―and how the topic fits into larger national and global contexts, in eight chapters.

book provides a deep analysis of the relationship between ARs and related phenomena of warm conveyor belts and tropical moisture exports, confusion over which had under-lain some of the earlier debate over the atmospheric river con-cept. Most recently, a scale for AR intensity and an impact-based categorization scheme (Ralph et al. 2019) have

The book explores the key characteristics of ARs, from their frequency and duration to intensity, unraveling the intricate relationship between atmospheric rivers and precipitation.

Aug 24, 2020 · Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) are narrow conveyor belts of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere, which can provide beneficial water supply and snowpack, and sometimes produce flooding rains that can disrupt travel and cause catastrophic damage to life and property.
