Atmospheric rivers (AR) are vital to our planet’s weather patterns. Research indicates that these rivers in the sky cause nearly all of the world’s precipitation. Efforts in the past few years have helped scientists better understand AR behavior, enabling more accurate weather forecasts. The st...
Atmospheric rivers currently are driven in part by the evaporation of ocean waters, which temporarily cools the atmosphere and propels the storms forward. In a warmer world, that process will be amplified for a type of atmospheric river, known as a “Pineapple Express,” that plows into Sout...
Atmospheric rivers move huge amounts of water through the air above us—and dump rain and snow on land.
How is nonpoint source pollution formed? How does wind erosion cause air pollution? What are the causes of water pollution? How does urbanization cause water pollution? How does water pollution affect humans? How does soil pollution affect the economy?

How are polar bodies formed? How do ocean currents affect temperature? Why does ice melt faster in water? Why does temperature increase when water condenses? How does soil erosion affect streams and rivers? How does climate variability affect water?
How Deserts Are Formed Let us now consider what one might call anextremeecosystem: a desert. Of the world's deserts, by far the most impressive is the Sahara, which today spreads across some 3.5 million sq. mi. (9.06 million sq km), an area that is larger than the c...
Atmospheric Rivers (AR)Russian RiversAverage Annual CountReanalysis DatasetGeometric CriteriaMany atmospheric river detection tools (ARDTs) have now been developed. However, their relative performance is not well documented. This paper compares a diverse set of ARDTs by applying them to a single ...
The primary source of atmospheric humidity is the evaporation of water from large bodies of water, such as oceans, seas, lakes and rivers. The sun’s heat causes this water to evaporate and become water vapor, which then enters the air. However, many everyday activities also contribute to ...
Monsoons are formed due to the temperature differences between ocean and land which changes seasonally. During summer, the air in the land is warmer... Learn more about this topic: Monsoon Winds | Definition & Causes from Chapter 9/ Lesson 8 ...
