Показать описание
F. Martin (Marty) Ralph, Professor at Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Director of the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes at the University of California San Diego spoke to SoMAS at the Ocean, Sustainability, Atmosphere Colloquium on Friday October 23, 2020 on the topic "Atmospheric Rivers: Recent developments in science, impacts and policies."
Hosted by Brian Colle.
Abstract:
Recent developments in the study of atmospheric rivers will be reviewed, including creation of the formal definition, the scale for AR intensity and impacts, an operational airborne AR Reconnaissance program and AR-focused forecast tools. The role of ARs in extreme precipitation will be described, including examples from the US East Coast and trends in the occurrence of extreme 3-day-total precipitation events. Finally, examples will be summarized of how the AR topic has related to recent public policy developments at state and federal levels, focusing on the potential for better AR forecasts to support water management.
