Atmospheric rivers are shifting amid global warming. Here's what you need to know

Atmospheric rivers are shifting poleward, resulting in diverse and severe climate impacts including intensified droughts, floods, and altered global weather patterns.

Storm-Hunting Planes Are Taking on Atmospheric Rivers to Improve Forecasts

Better forecasting of atmospheric rivers could significantly reduce damage costs and improve community preparedness against extreme weather events.

Atmospheric Rivers are Shifting Across The Globe - And We're Only Starting To Understand The Impact

Atmospheric rivers are shifting poleward, significantly affecting weather patterns and water resources worldwide.

Landslides Are a Growing Climate Threat. What Do We Know About Them?

Atmospheric rivers are causing extreme rainfall and increased landslide risks in recently burned areas of the Pacific Northwest.

How are atmospheric rivers affected by climate change?

A powerful atmospheric river has stalled over Southern California, causing flooding and record-breaking rainfall.
The intensity of recent atmospheric rivers is likely influenced by human-caused climate change, as warmer ocean temperatures and increased atmospheric moisture contribute to their formation.

Atmospheric river storms are getting stronger, and deadlier. The race to understand them is on

Scientists are using advanced tools to measure and study atmospheric rivers like the recent storm in California.
Warming oceans are making atmospheric rivers more dangerous, causing deadly floods and significant damage.

A bomb cyclone looms over California and Pacific north-west but what is it?

Powerful storms, including strong atmospheric rivers, are forecasted to impact British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, and Northern California this week.

Stunning satellite photos show 'Pineapple Express' storms head for Southern California

California is preparing for two more atmospheric rivers that could bring power outages and flooding.
Last year's atmospheric rivers brought much-needed rain and snow but also caused widespread flooding.

First of back-to-back atmospheric rivers pushes into California. Officials urge storm preparations

California is preparing for potential flooding, heavy snow, and damaging winds as the first of two back-to-back atmospheric rivers approaches.
The storm, known as a 'Pineapple Express,' will be followed by an even more powerful storm on Sunday.
Last winter, California experienced extensive flooding, big waves, and heavy snowfall from atmospheric rivers, resulting in over 20 deaths.

A look at atmospheric rivers, the long bands of water vapor that form over oceans and fuel storms

Atmospheric rivers are long bands of water vapor that transport moisture from the tropics to northern latitudes.
They can cause storms that produce flooding and mudslides, but they are also vital to water supplies.

'Pineapple Express' sweeps California as an atmospheric river fuels storms and floods state

Heavy rain and flooding hit California as the first of back-to-back atmospheric rivers hit the state.
The storm initially impacted the San Francisco Bay Area before moving to the southern and eastern parts of the state.
Last winter, California experienced extensive flooding and significant snowfall from similar atmospheric rivers.
