During a 6-day intensive observing period in January 2021, Atmospheric River
Reconnaissance (AR Recon) aircraft sampled a series of atmospheric rivers (ARs) over the …

Landfalling atmospheric rivers (ARs) over the western US are responsible for∼ 30%–50%
of the annual precipitation, and their accurate forecasts are essential for aiding water …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are the primary mechanism for mid‐latitude water vapor transport,
and are identified by a key variable, integrated water vapor transport (IVT). The ability of …

This study emulates dropsondes to elucidate the extent to which sporadic airborne sondes
adequately represent divergence of moisture transport in Arctic atmospheric rivers (ARs) …

Variations in the water vapor that atmospheric rivers (ARs) carry toward North America
within Pacific storms strongly modulates the spatiotemporal distribution of west‐coast …

Remote sensing data play a critical role in improving numerical weather prediction (NWP).
However, the physical principles of radiation dictate that data voids frequently exist in …

Landfalling atmospheric rivers (ARs) frequently trigger heavy and sometimes prolonged
precipitation, especially in regions with favored orographic enhancement. The presence and …

This study focuses on two intensive observing periods (IOPs) that cause heavy rainfall over
California during the atmospheric river (AR) Reconnaissance Program in 2019. The impacts …

Over the last two decades, the important role of atmospheric rivers (ARs; defined in the
Glossary of Meteorology; Ralph et al. 2018) in many extreme precipitation and flood …

Some extratropical cyclones (ETC) begin their development in close proximity to a
preexisting atmospheric river (AR). This study investigates the differences in the …
