DOI: 10.1029/2020ea001129
Abstract: Observational networks enhance real‐time situational awareness for emergency and water resource management during extreme weather events. We present examples of how a diverse, multitiered observational network in California provided insights into hydrometeorological processes and impacts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jhm-d-18-0217.1
Abstract: Atmospheric rivers (ARs) can cause flooding when they are strong and stall over an already wet watershed. While earlier studies emphasized the role of individual, long-duration ARs in triggering floods, it is not uncommon for… read more here.
