Synoptic and planetary-scale dynamics modulate Antarctic atmospheric river precipitation intensity
Abstract Although rare, atmospheric rivers substantially influence the interannual variability of Antarctic surface mass balance. Here we use MERRA-2 reanalysis to identify characteristics unique to atmospheric river environments by comparing (1) Analog (environments that feature high-low pressure c...
