We review the major conceptual models of atmospheric moisture transport, which describe
the link between evaporation from the ocean and precipitation over the continents. We begin …

The most important sources of atmospheric moisture at the global scale are herein identified,
both oceanic and terrestrial, and a characterization is made of how continental regions are …

Continental moisture recycling is a crucial process of the South American climate system. In
particular, evapotranspiration from the Amazon basin contributes substantially to …

The Mediterranean region contains a diverse and interesting climate ranging from areas
with permanent glaciers to areas of subtropical, semiarid regions. The region is potentially …

About 9 out of 10 liters of water evaporated from the oceans every year precipitates back
onto oceans. However, the remaining 10% that get transported to continents play an …

The assessment of sources of moisture is key to the understanding of the hydrological cycle
at different time scales, because it enables the establishment of source-sink relationships …

We study the seasonal dynamics of the eastern Pacific (CHOCO) and Caribbean low‐level
jets (LLJ), and aerial rivers (AR) acting on tropical and subtropical South America. Using the …
