A new @ametsoc BAMS study led by a phenomenal @BerkeleyLab @eesalbnl scientist @WillRudisill describes a systemic🏔️winter cold bias in models. We explore causes using @doescience field campaign, SAIL, data. Don't take my word for it, listen to the MARMOTS tinyurl.com/e4cx3rjz

“This somewhat rapid intensification of rainfall extremes is the new normal, at least for the next five years,” says @eesalbnl scientist @markdrisser, who co-led a new study on how air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions influence rain in the US.

🌧️ Atmospheric aerosols, such as dust or smoke, have a drying effect. As they decrease, @BerkeleyLab scientists show that this long-term drying effect will likely diminish, causing rainfall averages and extremes to rapidly increase. Learn more: bit.ly/49s4vuW

Air Pollution Hides Increases in Rainfall: For much of the last century, the drying effect of aerosols has masked increases in rainfall from greenhouse gases – but as aerosol emissions diminish, average and extreme rains may ramp up newscenter.lbl.gov/2024/02/2…

Our review is out! We synthesize the literature to show how western US ❄️ has and may continue to decline and the trickle down impacts in 🏔️ landscapes. We then highlight the implications for water resources and provide some proactive approaches that could help offset ❄️ loss.

Building off of previous research/toolsets, we assessed shifts in coastal WUS AR character along several stabilized GW scenarios (+0 deg C ... +3 deg C) and highlight pragmatic ($) implications of mitigation. It was also recognized by @skepticscience at skepticalscience.com/news.ph…
Our (@markdrisser) manuscript "Implications of warming on western United States landfalling atmospheric rivers and their flood damages" is now published in Weather and Climate Extremes doi.org/10.1016/j.wace.2021.…
