Scientists found the more atmospheric rivers occur in a short space of time, the worse the consequences.
Atmospheric rivers are likely to become worse and arrive in closer succession, scientists predict.The phenomenon—defined as warm corridors of tropical moisture that travel through the atmosphere—battered the state of California nine times through the 2022 and 2023 winter. The storms caused extreme flooding, power outages and landslides across the state.
And as they become more commonplace, it is important for California to have more preparations in place, the study notes.To reach their findings, the researchers calculated how many AR days the West Coast experienced over 2022 and 2023.They found that intense atmospheric events are more likely to occur when there is a dense cluster, meaning, when there is a relatively high number of ARs in a short space of time.
