A more specific version of an atmospheric river is a setup sometimes referred to as a "pineapple express." In this case, a plume of tropical moisture extends from near Hawaii to California or ...
Atmospheric rivers could become stronger and have more impacts along the West Coast due to climate change. A new study shows how water rise and increased rainfall could impact residents who face ...
