Atmospheric rivers and extreme state of the Antarctic troposphere: Gorodetskaya, Irina V.; Silva, Tiago; Schmithüsen, Holger; Hirasawa, Naohiko. “Atmospheric River Signatures in Radiosonde Profiles and Reanalyses at the Dronning Maud Land Coast, East Antarctica”. Advances in Atmospheric Sciences 37 5 (2020): 455-476. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00376-020-9221-8.

How do we measure atmospheric rivers in Antarctica?

In this study we investigated AR signatures in the atmospheric vertical profiles at the Dronning Maud Land coast, East Antarctica, using regular and extra radiosonde measurements conducted during the Year of Polar Prediction Special Observing Period November 2018 to February 2019.
