Future Changes In Global Atmospheric Rivers Projected By CMIP6 Models

https://doi.org/10.1029/2023JD039359 <-- shared paper

maps and charts - (a) Atmospheric river (AR) characteristics, including duration, interval, area, and intensity during the DJF globally. The central plot displays the increase in AR frequency between the far-future (SSP585; 2070–2099) and the historical (1980–2009) periods, with the climatological AR frequency in the historical period represented by the contours. Black dots indicate unanimous frequency changes among CMIP6 models. The red rectangles are the boundaries of the target regions and the black hatches are the selected land regions. The surrounding plots show 2D Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) maps for AR characteristics over the historical period and far-future under different scenarios displayed in the bottom right corner for eight regions. The univariate distributions of the characteristics are shown on the outer axes of each subplot. (b) The comparison of the KDE maps for three selected regions with ARs detected with GuanWaliser_v2 and Mundhenk_v3 AR detection tools (ARDTs). Note that only the SSP585 scenario is available for the far-future period in these two data sets. The legend is the same as in Panel (a). Note that the figures of PanLu ARDT are presented based on daily scale data sets, while the figures of GuanWaliser_v2 and Mundhenk_v3 ARDTs are presented on 6-hourly scale data sets due to data accessibility.
graphic - what is the science behind atmospheric rivers
maps and charts - Projected increase in panel (a) atmospheric river (AR) frequency and (b) AR-induced precipitation for DJF and JJA in Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere under the SSP585 scenarios. The shading represents the differences between the far-future (2070–2099) and historical (1980–2009) periods, with contours delineating the historical climatology. ARs detected with the PanLu, GuanWaliser_v2 and Mundhenk_v3 method are all shown. Note that the figures of PanLu ARDT are presented based on daily scale data sets, while the figures of GuanWaliser_v2 and Mundhenk_v3 ARDTs are presented on 6-hourly scale data sets due to data accessibility.

My word of the day is pluvial.
Pluvial like in 'Carnian pluvial episode'.

/ˈpluːvɪəl/
Geology
adjective: pluvial – relating to or characterized by rainfall.
noun: pluvial; plural noun: pluvials – a period marked by increased rainfall.

Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnian_pluvial_episode was a global monsun that lasted 2 million years in the late Triassic and gave rise to the dinosaurs.

is at it again!

From the email:
"Doug Ford is once again trying to gut hard-won environmental protections.

The “Get it Done” Act, introduced Tuesday, is a giant omnibus bill so big Ford’s hoping we wouldn't notice its most offensive policy changes – including allowing the government to expropriate land for major infrastructure projects, without a completed environmental assessment.

The goal? To force through controversial projects such as Highway 413, a $10 billion environmental disaster that would run through pristine Greenbelt land, destroy farmland, and harm endangered wildlife.

Doug Ford is testing the waters to see if you notice these major changes. You could help send a clear message that the people of Ontario see right through this gross overreach."

Curious when you just declare a neighborhood a "BAD IDEA" and buy out everyone and make it into a park. This has been a landslide area for A VERY LONG TIME, and homes should never have been built there (IMHO). #PalosVerdes #PortugueseBend #Landslide #disaster https://laist.com/news/rainfall-accelerating-land-movement-in-rancho-palos-verdes

Hi Mastodon, do you have ideas about what people in , , should do this summer, when we expect some degree of scarcity, to manage extreme emergencies, that is, and ?

... it seems to me that so many of the methods for surviving extreme heat depend on there being plenty of water to use...

Cleanup is underway after wildfires in the Valparaíso region of Chile. 112 confirmed dead.

In seaside resort and logistics town Viña del Mar, more than 12,000 homes were destroyed by wildfires in a day. According to the 2017 census, there were just 67,000 homes in the city. Almost a fifth leveled.

In the nearby agricultural town Quilpue, 2,700 homes were destroyed. Total before the fire: 11,000. 1 in 4 homes gone

Interviews with Organizations Fighting against Disaster Ableism and Injustices"

"Human-intensified, natural disasters do not hit everyone equally.

Communities of color, disabled and sick, working class and poor, queer and trans, immigrants, older individuals, and in geopolitically disinvested regions are disproportionately impacted harder by disasters."

I agree that AM radio can be critical in a disaster situation where the commercial power and communications infrastructure fail.

That means AM radio stations, many of which can be heard for hundreds of miles.

Oh, what's in this little box, a small sony trinitron perfect for some #retrogaming action perhaps?

Only a single layer of small bubble-wrap & a thin foam sheet over the front for protection seems a bit dicey, and it seems to be on it's side, but the box was intact & Japan's delivery services are pretty gentle with packages…

Uh oh, what a cracking crunching sound as I open the wrap? Damn. 🙀 Well, that's not going to be useful given the dangerous voltages present when using a crt, if it even works.

Once again we see that when a deal is too good to be true…

#sony #trinitron #shipping #disaster

Inside a small cardboard box there's something in small bubble-wrap.
The bubble-wrap opens to reveal the back of a sony tv, its plastic case has a giant crack.
The front of what was once a sony trinitron tv, now a mess of shattered plastic revealing hazardous electronic guts.

Today's home improvement task: cut an access hole in a ceiling, install insulation the remodeling crew missed (because I was not there that day to cross check them), close up access hole. Detected via FLIR. I had mentioned it to the project manager but they still didn't do it (should have documented it in an email). It's about $20 worth of insulation plus the hassle of cutting a temporary hatch, but getting them to fix it would be a major hassle. It just gets mentioned on the after-install report to the insurance company, ie. "how would you rate their work". 🤨 #disaster #remodeling

#Today, disaster struck.

One goal of any good bonsai practitioner is to try and make their small pampered trees look like they “have been through some stuff” to signify age and experience.

So an 85’ fir tree fell across our garage and backyard, landing on the spot I had just moved the bulk of my trees to, to protect from the wicked weather we were expecting.

If the initial fall didn’t do the “fir”st damage…the cleanup will complete it. Many trees with absolutely all limbs stripped down their trunks. One of the trees I have been working on the longest lost one of its two primary trunks.

Note to self. Going to need a second green bin.

#PDX #WeatherFucked #Non-NormalOperatingPosition #Bonsai #MakeGoodChoices

Bonsai with limbs stripped…been a tough day.
Maples hearty enough to muscle through ice and wind but no match for a big ass fir not able to maintain its normal operating position.
One bad fir day takes out trees in their “sheltered location”.

Anthro,

Taking Stalk #Today

Was able to move a bunch of #bonsai trees yesterday…as the 85’ fir continues to slice through my garage like a wood cleaver.

So many tiny trees, whose form had been meticulously crafted…snapped like matchsticks due to icy temps and brushy deluge from above.

Hopes for minor repairs to building dwindle…as the building turns to kindle.

Thoughts turn to coverage and contractors and cash…as the weather only increases the gash.
