Atmospheric rivers cause warm winters and extreme heat events
2024年12月18日 · Seasons with more frequent atmospheric rivers (ARs) also have warmer than average temperatures in many mid-latitude regions, and AR events are associated with temperature anomalies of 5–10 °C ...
Trees, forests and water: Cool insights for a hot world
2017年3月1日 · Land management must consider the regional and continental effects of forest on water and climate – with a strong emphasis on acknowledging the contribution of atmospheric moisture and the cooling power of forest and tree-dominated land-atmosphere interactions. Most water assessment tools still do not consider flows of atmospheric moisture.
Atmospheric rivers lead to heat extremes - Nature
2024年12月18日 · Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of water vapour in the lower atmosphere that often lead to intense precipitation, even at the poles. They also transport heat and energy to the Earth’s ...
Hydrological cycle and water resources in a changing world: A …
2021年6月1日 · There is a need to elucidate the influences and feedback mechanisms for each link of the water cycle between the land and the atmosphere, and to improve the precision of hydrometeorological forecasts in river basins. Traditional atmospheric-hydrological coupling studies have focused on the impacts of climate change on the hydrological processes ...
Greenhouse gases strengthen atmospheric rivers - Nature
2021年10月4日 · Atmospheric rivers substantially affect the global hydrologic cycle, yet their response to past and future anthropogenic forcing remains highly uncertain. New research reveals the...
Deforestation-induced runoff changes dominated by forest
2024年8月16日 · Deforestation may reduce local and downwind precipitation and runoff through reduced water vapor supply to the atmosphere by moisture recycling and may also influence precipitation through mesoscale circulation and moisture transport (29–32). This precipitation feedback to vegetation changes is found to be scale and region dependent .

Atmospheric Rivers in the Northwest | USDA Climate Hubs
2022年1月6日 · Atmospheric rivers are a natural part of the water cycle in the western U.S. and in the Northwest occur most often in the fall and winter. When they are beneficial, they bring much needed rain to the region. Between 1950 and 2010, between 60 and 74% of persistent drought ended when atmospheric rivers made landfall.
atmospheric water for rainfall up to thousands of kilometers downwind. • Trees emit biological particles found on the surface of leaves into the atmosphere, some of which actively produce rain and snow in a process called bioprecipitation. These biological particles are more efficient at generating precipitation than other atmospheric particles.
Is climate change affecting California's atmospheric rivers? - NPR
2024年2月7日 · An atmospheric river can hold as much as 15 times as much water as the Mississippi River. Human-driven climate change has primed the atmosphere to hold more of that water.
