Atmospheric rivers are shifting amid global warming. Here's what you need to know
Briefly

"Atmospheric rivers have shifted about 6 to 10 degrees toward the two poles over the past four decades, impacting weather patterns worldwide, including droughts and flooding."
"Atmospheric rivers are crucial for regions like California, where they contribute up to 50% of annual rainfall, vital for ending droughts and sustaining water supplies."
"Collectively, the behavior of atmospheric rivers reveals an increase in their activity at latitudes around 50 degrees north, affecting global moistured distribution and climate."
"Our study indicates that atmospheric rivers not only affect local weather by bringing rain and snow but can also influence conditions as far away as the Arctic by melting sea ice."
