SUMMARY:Webinar: What is an Atmospheric River and How do Alaska National Weather Service Forecasters Monitor these Impactful Events on Communities and the Hydrologic Cycle?
DESCRIPTION:What is an Atmospheric River and How do Alaska National Weather Service For
 ecasters Monitor these Impactful Events on Communities and the Hydrologic C
 ycle?\nAaron Jacobs, National Weather Service Juneau and Martin Ralph, Scri
 pps Institution of Oceanography\nWednesday, 21 August 2019\n11:00 a.m. AKDT
 \nAtmospheric rivers (ARs) have the ability to transport large amounts of w
 ater vapor from the tropics poleward into the upper latitudes that can have
  positive and negative effects on the environment and society. For example,
  ARs events can cause dangerous flooding, debris flows, and large amounts o
 f snowfall but at the same time can be beneficial to the environment, espec
 ially areas that are in a drought. More than 20 years of research have incr
 eased our understanding of the dynamics of ARs. At the same time the improv
 ed remote sensing and better numerical weather prediction has given forecas
 ters increased ability to monitor atmospheric rivers, although forecast cha
 llenges associated with ARs remain. This talk will review what is known of 
 ARs, how forecasters monitor these events, what type of impacts they can ha
 ve on communities of Alaska, and ongoing research particular to Alaska.\nFo
