Climatological moisture sources for the Western North American Monsoon through a Lagrangian approach: their influence on precipitation intensity

<p>This work examines the origin of atmospheric water vapor arriving to the western North American monsoon (WNAM) region over a 34-year period (1981–2014) using a Lagrangian approach. This methodology computes budgets of evaporation minus precipitation <span class="inline-formula"...
