Rivers in the Sky: A Down-to-Earth Analogy in Hydrometeorology - Ruping Mo

Speaker: Ruping Mo, Senior Research Scientist, National Laboratory-West, Meteorological Service of Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada Description: Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow, and transient corridors of strong horizontal water vapor transport, typically associated with a low-level jet stream ahead of the cold front of an extratropical cyclone. This presentation demonstrates how to detect atmospheric rivers and assess their hydrometeorological impacts within research and operational forecasting environments. It also illustrates a multi-decade global atmospheric river catalogue for historical high-impact weather analysis and highlights the spatio-temporal distribution of atmospheric rivers affecting Canada.
