New research from UC Santa Barbara reveals that the atmosphere’s drying capacity is outpacing increases to rainfall.

These long, narrow bands of moisture in the atmosphere transport warm air and water vapor from the tropics. They can extend for thousands of miles and dump rain and snow when they make landfall.

the atmospheric river is expected to "gradually settle southward through the middle of the week as multiple waves of low pressure traverse the front and bring strong Pacific moisture transport ...

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow, transient corridors of intense water vapor transport, responsible for about 90% of poleward moisture movement despite only making up about 10% of atmospheric ...

narrow river of water vapor in the lower atmosphere. These rivers in the sky transport moisture from the subtropics to the mid-latitudes. When an atmospheric river runs up against North America ...

corridor of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere, often described as a "river in the sky." These phenomena transport vast amounts of water vapor from tropical regions to other parts of the ...
