An atmospheric river (AR) is a narrow corridor or filament of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere. Other names for this phenomenon are tropical plume, tropical connection, moisture plume, water vapor surge, and cloud band.

A major storm packing a plume of moisture that will evolve into an atmospheric river will slide southward along the California coast. The firehose effect will direct a period of torrential rain ...
A deadly Pacific storm, the second “Pineapple Express” weather system to sweep the West Coast in less than a week, dumped torrential rain over Southern California, triggering street flooding ...
Kodori river plume. A river plume is a freshened water mass that is formed in the sea as a result of mixing of river discharge and saline seawater. [1] River plumes are formed in coastal sea areas at many regions in the World. River plumes generally occupy wide-but-shallow sea surface layers bounded by sharp density gradients.
The plume of moisture will briefly stall across Northern California on Tuesday, supporting an uptick in rainfall rates from near San Francisco into the Sacramento Valley and foothills of the ...
The Sacramento and San Joaquin River systems drain the western slope of the Sierra Nevada and most of the Central Valley, forming the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta before emptying into Suisun Bay; together, they are the largest river system in California.
An atmospheric river is slamming portions of California, with multiple inches of rain expected to drench the area until the storm runs out of moisture Wednesday morning, forecasters say ...
A river plume embedded into a ROFI reproduce a continuous process of transformation of freshwater discharge. Initially, river discharge enters the shelf sea from a river mouth and forms a sub-mesoscale (with spatial extents ~1-10 km) or mesoscale (with spatial extents ~10-100 km) water mass referred to as a river plume.
