Responses and impacts of atmospheric rivers to climate change
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are characterized by intense moisture transport, which, on landfall,
produce precipitation which can be both beneficial and destructive. ARs in California, for …

Storylines: an alternative approach to representing uncertainty in physical aspects of climate change
As climate change research becomes increasingly applied, the need for actionable
information is growing rapidly. A key aspect of this requirement is the representation of …

Understanding heavy tails of flood peak distributions
Statistical distributions of flood peak discharge often show heavy tail behavior, that is,
extreme floods are more likely to occur than would be predicted by commonly used …

Recent progress on the sources of continental precipitation as revealed by moisture transport analysis
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 …

Understanding snow hydrological processes through the lens of stable water isotopes
Snowfall may have different stable isotopic compositions compared with rainfall, allowing its
contribution to potentially be tracked through the hydrological cycle. This review summarizes …

Rain-on-snow events, floods and climate change in the Alps: Events may increase with warming up to 4 C and decrease thereafter
M Beniston, M Stoffel - Science of the total environment, 2016 - Elsevier
This paper focuses on the influence of mountain rain-on-snow (ROS) events that can on
occasion trigger major floods in alpine catchments. In order to assess the evolution of these …

Increasing concurrence of wildfire drivers tripled megafire critical danger days in Southern California between1982 and 2018
Wildfire danger is often ascribed to increased temperature, decreased humidity, drier fuels,
or higher wind speed. However, the concurrence of drivers—defined as climate …

Hydrometeorological characteristics of rain‐on‐snow events associated with atmospheric rivers
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow, elongated, synoptic corridors of enhanced water vapor
transport that play an important role in regional weather/hydrology. Rain‐on‐snow (ROS) …
