Washington (AP) has achieved the harsh air events in the world hard in recent years, a single meteorological term – weather rivers – a jump from scientific circles to a common language, especially in the places it suffered.
This stands for the mind.
Rain events and the most famous heavy winds California Other parts of the West have become larger, more humid and more frequent in the past 45 years with the warm world, according to what I said. A comprehensive study to Air rivers In the current issue of the climate magazine.

Air rivers are long and relatively tight gangs of water vapor. They take water from the oceans and flow through the sky that received rain in huge quantities. The study said that it increased in the area that they have been launching by 6 to 9 % since 1980, increased the frequency by 2 to 6 % and is slightly wet from before.
Scientists have long predicted that with climate change from charcoal burning, oil and gas, it makes air warmer, and it carries more moisture, which means that it is a larger and more overseeing atmosphere. They are coming in the future. This week’s study showed that a more wet future is already here.
This does not mean that everything is necessarily due to climate change. We did not study this, but it is widely lined with some expectations on how to change (weather rivers) in an atmosphere of warming, “the author of the study Lexi Henny, a scientist at the North Carolina University atmosphere, while they were in NASA.
Henny said what happened already “is still small for the changes we think will happen” in a warmer world in the future.
While weather rivers can bring the rains that are intensified by the amazing places, they are often dangerous when they are strong and passed long. A little more than a year ago Hundreds of clay collapses and killed several people In California. In the nineteenth century, California had to come out of its capital from Sacramento due to the flooding of a river in the atmosphere.
These events are not just something in California. Henry said that it is already happening throughout the United States and the world, although it is sometimes not recognized as rivers in the atmosphere. Joy River in New England in Bring 2023 feet of rain And 50 miles per hour. 2020 The atmosphere is 99 inches of ice On Alaska.
Kristen Shelds, a water scientist at the National Air Research Center, which was not part of the research, said that the paper is not only logical, but it is rich in details and new data that will help researchers know what will happen with spells of rain and severe snow in the future.
