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 …

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 …

In the Pacific Northwest, there are currently 18 evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) or
distinct population segments (DPSes) of Pacific salmon and steelhead listed as threatened …

Major ecological realignments are already occurring in response to climate change. To be
successful, conservation strategies now need to account for geographical patterns in traits …

As climate has warmed over recent years, a new pattern of more frequent and more intense
weather events has unfolded across the globe. Climate models simulate such changes in …

The frequency of climate extremes will change in response to shifts in both mean climate
and climate variability. These individual contributions, and thus the fundamental …

Daily precipitation in California has been projected to become less frequent even as
precipitation extremes intensify, leading to uncertainty in the overall response to climate …

The Atmospheric River Tracking Method Intercomparison Project (ARTMIP) is an
international collaborative effort to understand and quantify the uncertainties in atmospheric …

A uniform, global approach is used to quantify how atmospheric rivers (ARs) change
between Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 historical simulations and future …

Extreme atmospheric rivers (EARs) are responsible for most of the severe precipitation and
disastrous flooding along the coastal regions in midlatitudes. However, the current non-eddy …
