California’s atmospheric rivers, explained | About That
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2024
- A series of atmospheric rivers caused days of record-breaking rain over parts of Los Angeles, sending mud and boulders down hillsides, cutting power for more than a million people, and damaging infrastructure. Lauren Bird explains what we know about this common and sometimes deadly phenomenon, and its impacts.

Lauren bird and team - excellent deep dive on this topic - brilliant resource ❤
I remember when these things were called storms.
No you don't.
California needs all this water for their reservoirs and water tables. Accept the free gift.
If the settlers hadn't cut down all the forests in the 1800s, those forests would have absorbed a lot of that moisture. Maybe time to think about reforesting the west coast.
good job, 1st one i see that doesn't simply regurgitate these doomsday sasyers regarding climate, yr on the right track, but fact is 100 years of complete fire suppression has led to extreme overgrowth of forests, woodlands, an shrub lands, which is the primary reason for the increase in wildfires, coupled with most old growth forests destroyed which gives the trees canopy enough distance to not get burned, ill give you a hint what's exponentially accelerated in CA the last 30 years? something that completely disturbs and destroys surface top soil and the landscape?
Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) are alarming; it’s thought that an atmospheric river was responsible for the high heat that hit British Columbia a couple years ago ie Lytton BC and killed marine life along the shore in Washington. Recently, researchers have found that ARs are hitting and contributing to accelerated heating and melting of parts of Antarctica. Floods seem to be only part of what ARs do. We should stop burning carbon. It’s going to get worse with greater extremes in temps and precipitation that weren’t part of the gentle climate society evolved with the last 10000 years.
I'm used to this in BC. Canada 🇨🇦

El Niño causes the Pacific jet stream to move south and spread further east. During winter, this leads to wetter conditions than usual in the Southern U.S. and warmer and drier conditions in the North. El Niño also has a strong effect on marine life off the Pacific coast.
What? El Nino Pinapple!
a few years ago we were told that California would just get dryer and dryer. it’s a lot like Australia, floods and droughts are common
Yup they have no clue and yet they guarantee the earth will warm up lol.
Weather and climate are two different things.
@@darkenergylambda
Can you tell me what El Niño does?
And is it weather or climate?
the thing, among any others, that puts so cal, and large extent NorCal in danger with these rain bursts is our soil composition, see most of the coastal hills here are made up of former sea bed sediment, further inland you get [as close as the la Puente hills] but mostly the inland empire an eastward it becomes terrestrial alluvial deposits, which tend to undergo "cementation"., but by the coast its all sea floor alluvials, which r made up almost exclusively of silt and clay, unless yr near the tops of the hills where the exposed bedrock lies at the surface most of this silt/clay mix hasn't been buried deep enough to undergo compaction, add to that the physical properties of clay; clay has a particle size in the .01 micrometers, which = very low porosity, it also has very very high water retention, basically water enters it, but cant go thru it, as well as has a harder time leaving it via evaporation or whatever; clay soaks up water like a sponge and doesn't let it go or drain once its waterlogged(waterlogged is stage above saturated), i think(hope) you see the picture im painting here and y mudslides are so easily prone here, so i will leave it here
Thank you for covering this. However, I think it’s sad that you don’t point out how this rain is desperately needed right now. A far more tragic situation unfolding in California is the long running drought which is causing wildfires and other terrible environmental consequences.
The report has a depressing tone to it but California is being blessed with rain right now and we should all rejoice at that.
We also might see another Super Bloom of wildflowers due to the rain in Cali again. So I look forward to that too.
tho i agree with you at some level have you even looked at the drought monitor since last year? for 1st time in decades the entire state was entirely drought free, zero colored in, and as aa amateur meteorologist, i gotta tell you do you even know how the drought monitor is measured? because its not based on rainfall or amount of precip
Hawii got mad 😠 and dumped it on California 😢
Does this mean i cant water my lawn nymore
😂
I Golf in weather like that.
I'll typically put my snacks in a plastic bag when I ride if it's like 2 feet of rain and 150 kph winds. Best to be safe.
New like a new buzz word doesn't it
New excuse.
CALIFORNIA = NEW FLORIDA
In 2024, our planet enters a 12,000-year cosmic cycle. Since then natural disasters and calamities will intensify and occur much more often.

Cool. Thanks for the insightful education
oh no some rain!

Yep it's bad unfortunately it's going get worse, then continue west ward
Get over it !
We need to snow and water here in central California.
This sh*t ain't nothing to me man
We out here cloud seeding
Got the scope gleaming
Barstow here, and the rain continues......
What Desert lol?
El Niño
1:10 😂😂 wow that storm will screwed us over
They have it every year - so, why they are not prepared for it?
they call it an "amospheric river" i call it what it is..geoengineering. this is not normal weather, this is engineered.
Karma

Now the question is How much of the installed 10GW solar capacity in California got damaged in this event ? If this is going to be repeated more in future due to accelerated climate change, is it wiser to reinstall those solar panels? bear in mind there is lot of coal needed to produce those solar panels in the first place.
in th year 2000 CO2 was around 380 ppm now its 417 ppm. are we moving towards solutions with massive deployment of wind and solar Tech?
Honest, it has nothing to do with engineered weather. Its all natural anomolies because co2 is causing it all.😅
Sure it is.
Get ready people it's Revelation 7;3-8 happening!!!! Are you READY??!!!!!! Have FAITH!!!!
"Atmospheric River" Good grief, Charlie Brown. There is no such thing and this must be one of the stupidest things I have heard. All weather is controlled - get over it.
All weather is controlled LOL 🤡
Scarier than Pineapple express

Take your meds
Harp weather modification. Atmospheric river is crap. Climate cult wording
Meteorological term, but continue to live in denial I guess
@@firthbytheseamaybe, but no carbon tax will change the weather.
Starting to think that some countries might actually have a way of manipulating the weather and this could be considered an attack. I know it might sound crazy but it's been weird this year for weather all around the globe.
OR
This is all part of climate change that scientists and environmentalists have been warning us for the last 40+ years ...
Nah. It must be the Chinese. No, wait, the Iranians. No wait, it is the Russian.
Hey. Quit those conspiracy theories.
Climage change IS real. Global warming IS happening.
And yes, what you are talking about IS crazy. There is NO conspiracy. There is ... only us.
its called climate change, bob.
Cannot compare to typhoons in the equator, that is just rain and wind
Its certainly an interesting thought!
HARP Alaska
Free Quebec
Nope dissolve the province of Quebec and either let the FN govern it or split the land between on,nl, and nb
