California’s Climate Future | Stronger Atmospheric River Events & Longer Dry Spells “Precipitation in California, especially Southern California, is already more variable from year to year than anywhere else in the U.S.” – Scripps UCSD According to two recent studies at Scripps UCSD, California is in for stronger Atmospheric River Events and longer drought periods. The storms will result in more precipitation falling, but the time in-between those storms is expected to lengthen. The […] Weather Chris Wallner | September 14, 2017 0 Comments

New Research Reveals How Atmospheric Rivers Wreak Havoc Around The World An “atmospheric river” is a colorful term for a sinuous plume of moisture that travels up from the tropics — a single plume can carry more water than the Mississippi River at its mouth. But new research shows that atmospheric rivers are also among the most damaging weather systems around. The atmospheric rivers that soaked California this winter did some […] Weather Chris Wallner | March 15, 2017 0 Comments
