Is "atmospheric river" a new meteorological term because of climate change?

Natural phenomena but caused by climate change, clearly we need to throw truck loads of cash at this in order to find out more.

Buzz word to get clicks. Like bomb cyclone. Didnt they used to call those low pressure systems?

I don’t think so. I remember learning about, at least something similar, to atmospheric river in a science class several years ago.

I should have just googled it.
From wiki:
quote:
The term was originally coined by researchers Reginald Newell and Yong Zhu of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the early 1990s, to reflect the narrowness of the moisture plumes involved.

More click bait like radar indicated rotation and debris field.

GumboPot thinks there is no climate change

Water conservationists in Cali stressing right now.

climate change is based upon an assumption of a static climate which never existed.

In true OT fashion I expect pages of responses denying the existence of something they know nothing about because they don’t understand it.

The amount of water dropped on the Monterey peninsula in the last month is insane

So Californians should be proponents of climate change. They finally getting much needed rain to help with their drought. Though I bet it doesn't help with their green narrative for which they use to extort money from their citizens.

I guess “rain shadow” wasn’t catchy enough

I'm sure the burning of fossil fuels is causing all the rain in California this rainy season.

I saw distances provided in kilometers and stopped.

I commented about that last week.
Atmospheric river is a new scare phrase along with bomb cyclone.
This weekend they we’d covering flooding rains in California while showing California is having a terrible drought.
Is Lake Mead filling back up? Or is it still drying up? Who knows. You’d think the atmospheric river and bomb cyclones might help.

It actually doesn’t help the citizens at all because their environmentalist policies designed to protect certain aquatic species prevent them from retaining much of that runoff to store in reservoirs for after this rain event is over. The overwhelming majority of this prodigious rainfall is going to be “wasted” flowing right back into the ocean.

No. This term has been used for many years. A “Pineapple Express” is an atmospheric river that soaks California every couple of years.
The scary thing is California is due for massive atmospheric rivers n the next 100 years to return to average. If this happens, majority of your produce will die and food shortages will occur.
