Abstract The climate of South America (SA) has long held an intimate connection with El
Niño, historically describing anomalously warm sea-surface temperatures off the coastline of …

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 …

The Andes is the longest cordillera in the world and extends from northern South America to
the southern extreme of the continent (from 11° N to 53° S). The Andes runs through seven …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are now widely known for their association with high‐impact
weather events and long‐term water supply in many regions. Researchers within the …

Owing to the extraordinary latitudinal extent, a strong orographic variability with very high
mountain tops, and the presence of deep valleys and steep slopes, the Andes and the …

Abstract The Tracking Atmospheric Rivers Globally as Elongated Targets (tARget) algorithm
is further developed to Version 3, adding the capability to track atmospheric river (AR) life …

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), like many other regions in the world, are areas that
are prone to hydrometeorological disasters, which threaten livelihoods and cause economic …

The effect of increased populations concentrated in urban areas, coupled with the ongoing
threat of climate change, means that society is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the …

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 …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are long, narrow synoptic scale weather features important for
