Atmospheric River
This briefing, based on research from the Aspen Global Change Institute, examines the impact of climate change on atmospheric rivers and snowpack in California and other mountainous regions. It highlights a paradoxical future where the region faces both an increased risk of catastrophic megafloods and a long-term decline in snowpack and overall precipitation frequency, emphasizing that high-emissions scenarios will accelerate these hydrologic shifts.

La temperatura de la superficie del Océano Pacífico afecta la capa de nieve de los Andes y el aporte de agua a las regiones semiáridas del centro de Chile y Argentina
This fact sheet describes the relationship between Pacific Ocean surface temperatures, winter snowpack in the Andes (between 30 and 37° S), and river streamflows in semi-arid regions of central Chile and west-central Argentina. It highlights the influence of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) on water availability.
