Using publically available data about wind speed and water vapor flux from real - world
atmospheric rivers over the Atlantic, the scientists created a computer model consisting of thousands of moving virtual air particles and found a close match between the complex swirls — the Lagrangian coherent structures —
made by the air particles and the patterns
made by the real
atmospheric rivers.
They compared two simulations, present and future, of
atmospheric rivers determined from the vertically integrated water vapor flux to quantify the changes in
atmospheric rivers that
make landfall over western North America.
The figurative work becomes more wistful and supposedly lyrical as the forties progress, culminating in the «Hammersmith» paintings of semi-abstracted
atmospheric river and outdoor scenes, such as The Gardens of Hammersmith No. 2,
made at about the same time as his first forays into abstract painting and collage.
From Oct. 1 to March 31, 45
atmospheric river storms
made landfall along the West Coast, the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes reported.
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.
Climate change is expected to
make California more dependent on extreme «
atmospheric river» storm events, scientists say.
