A composite-based analysis of the dynamical linkage of atmospheric rivers, warm conveyor belts, and extratropical cyclones

Abstract. Extratropical cyclones (ETCs), warm conveyor belts (WCBs), and atmospheric rivers (ARs) are dynamically connected features key to understand midlatitude weather and hydroclimate. However, the precise spatial and temporal coupling between the moisture transport in ARs an...

Improving on the spatial location of geostationary satellite-derived FRP by accounting for parallax effect

When a satellite observes the Earth at an angle, the apparent position of elevated features, such as mountains, clouds or fires in high terrain, can be shifted from their true ground location. This effect, which may be particularly pronounced in the case of geostationary platform...
