The detection of atmospheric rivers in atmospheric reanalyses and their links to British winter floods and the large-scale climatic circulation
- Develops an algorithm which uses the spatial and temporal extent of the vertically integrated horizontal water vapor transport for the detection of persistent atmospheric rivers (ARs)
- Finds a strong relationship between persistent AR occurrences and UK winter floods
- Concludes that persistent AR occurrences often trigger winter floods
