February 27, 2015

CW3E is pleased to be part of a recent video produced by Elissa Lynn, program manager at California’s Department of Water Resources (a CW3E partner). This video focuses on the recent CalWater 2015 – ACAPEX Field Campaign and the importance of Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) to California’s precipitation. This video provides excellent background information about ARs and how unique CalWater 2015 was with the availability of 4 different aircrafts and a NOAA research vessel examining ARs simultaneously. The importance of atmospheric aerosols from humans and their potential link to precipitation quantity is also described in this video.
