Scientist develops new equation to better predict behavior of atmospheric rivers

University of Chicago researchers develop new equation to better understand processes that drive atmospheric rivers.

Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow regions of concentrated water vapor accompanied by strong winds that carry moisture from the tropics toward the poles .

They can transport as much as 15 times the amount of water that flows through the mouth of the Mississippi River .

Before joining UChicago, Yang lived in California for 15 years , which piqued his interest in atmospheric rivers. And "now that I live in higher latitudes," he said, "I should pay more attention to these midlatitude storms."
