Extreme atmospheric rivers in a warming climate - Nature
Jun 3, 2023 · In this study, the authors use eddy-resolving climate model simulations and project an almost linear increase of extreme atmospheric rivers with global warming and a doubling of their...
The Escalating Impact of Global Warming on Atmospheric Rivers
Feb 12, 2024 · Rising surface temperatures will continue to increase moisture content in the air, leading to a rise in atmospheric rivers overall, the researchers found. Globally, these events will increase by...
Robust Atmospheric River Response to Global Warming in …
Sep 1, 2021 · These results demonstrate that AR changes in a warming climate can be understood as passive water vapor and cloud tracers regulated by large-scale atmospheric circulation, whereas convection and latent heat feedback are of secondary importance.
A global poleward shift of atmospheric rivers | Science Advances
Oct 11, 2024 · Our analysis demonstrates that low-frequency sea surface temperature variability in the tropical eastern Pacific exhibits a cooling tendency since 2000 that plays a key role in driving this global AR shift, mostly over extratropical oceans, through a …
Atmospheric rivers cause warm winters and extreme heat events
Dec 18, 2024 · Our results demonstrate that ARs significantly impact air temperatures on a wide array of timescales, and that they may play a wider role in global energy transport than previously recognized.
Climate change may lead to bigger atmospheric rivers
May 24, 2018 · The new study projects atmospheric rivers will be significantly longer and wider than the ones we observe today, leading to more frequent atmospheric river conditions in affected areas.
More high-impact atmospheric river-induced extreme …
Dec 20, 2024 · We project that the frequency-weighted area of such extreme precipitation events in western Europe and the west coast of North America will increase by about 80% under approximately 4°C of global warming.
Extreme atmospheric rivers in a warming climate - PMC
Jun 3, 2023 · In this study, the authors use eddy-resolving climate model simulations and project an almost linear increase of extreme atmospheric rivers with global warming and a doubling of their occurrence under a high emission scenario.
Responses and impacts of atmospheric rivers to climate change
Mar 9, 2020 · In this Review, we use a theoretical framework to synthesize understanding of the dynamic and thermodynamic responses of ARs to anthropogenic warming and connect them to observed and projected...
