Related Research Project: LAGRangian analysis of the Impact on the global hydrological cycle of the Major Mechanisms of Atmospheric Moisture Transport (LAGRIMA)
Atmospheric Rivers (ARs), Low-Level Jets (LLJs), Cyclones (tropical, extratropical and subtropical) and monsoonal regimes are the major mechanisms in the atmospheric moisture transport, carring large amounts of moisture from certain regions of the planet to others.
In order to understand these mechanisms as well as their impact in the sink regions, which is particularly important for the further analysis of climate change scenarios, the correct identification of moisture sources is essential.
Mainly, but not exclusively, the Lagrangian model FLEXPART, in its different versions, will be used for the identification and further analysis of moisture sources related to these mechanisms.
Below, you can find some works (not all) published by our group for different mechanisms (complete list in Publications).
