«Given that atmospheric rivers over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans appear as coherent filaments of water vapor lasting for up to a week, and that Lagrangian coherent structures have turned out to explain the formation of other geophysical flows, we wondered whether Lagrangian coherent structures might somehow play a role in the formation of atmospheric rivers,» said study coauthor Vicente Perez - Munuzuri, a physicist at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

The atmospheric river of moisture streaming off of the record warm Pacific ocean is heavily aerosolized (as described above) which keeps much of the moisture from falling and broadcasts it out into massive regions of rainless (and toxic) cloud cover expanding out over the Western US.

Everything is fully deterministic — including the «atmospheric rivers» that transport moisture from oceanic hot - spots to drop it on land — but so complex and dynamic as to be seemingly random and unpredictable.

«All climate models show that as the climate warms, we should expect more frequent atmospheric river storms, which isn't good in California because it's almost like too much rain at one time,» she said.

Additionally, many atmospheric river storms move down the coast over time, so those that made landfall above California frequently moved down to the state as well.
