The storm will usher in warm temperatures, which will contribute to the flooding risk from heavy rain as snow melts.

At the very beginning of its history, Earth was dry. How did it become a blue planet? A new theory could provide an answer.

Water vapor tomography is a technique used to create three-dimensional models of atmospheric water vapor distribution. This is crucial for understanding weather patterns, climate change ...

Breakthrough materials that pull water from thin air could offer a sustainable solution to the West's worsening drought ...

But what does it really mean? The term, atmospheric river (AR), is used when describing the way water vapor moves through the atmosphere in the mid-latitudes. There can be atmospheric rivers that aren ...

Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow regions of water vapor in the atmosphere, like a river in the sky. These systems gather moisture from the tropics near the equator and move it toward the poles.

An expert at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography explains the weather phenomenon that can wreak havoc across California.

Atmospheric rivers are long and relatively narrow bands of water vapor that form over an ocean and flow through the sky, ...

The weather phenomena are common for California winters, but they could cause dangerous debris flows or mudslides in recently ...
