CW3E has prepared an event summary detailing the series of named storms and #AtmosphericRivers that fueled well above normal precipitation to the Iberian Peninsula between January and February, 2026. Read our analysis here: cw3e.ucsd.edu/cw3e-event-s...

Groundbreaking Atmospheric River Forecasting Collaboration Crosses The Finish Line A short-range X-Band radar is installed on Rocky Ridge in western Contra Costa County, California on December 8, 2022. It’s one of six new radars that form the foundation for a forecast system designe...

#AtmosphericRivers provide up to 50% of California’s annual rain, but also are responsible for 80% of flood damage. The new AQPI system delivers more accurate forecasts of rainfall, runoff and flooding. Learn more. ⤵️

Accounting for Soil Saturation Enhances Atmospheric River Flood Warnings Atmospheric rivers carry unfathomable amounts of water across the sky, bringing moisture to drought-stricken regions like the Western U.S. But whether a particular incoming atmospheric river storm will result in disastrous flooding has long been difficu...

A new DRI-led study demonstrates that accounting for #soil saturation levels can substantially improve our early warning of potentially destructive flooding events. bit.ly/soilsat
