The first of three virtual “Perspectives on Ocean Science” lectures presented by Birch Aquarium in La Jolla focused on atmospheric rivers and the impact they may have on California’s climate.
Meteorologist Alexander Gershunov discussed “The Art and Science of Atmospheric Rivers and the Changing Hydroclimate of the West” on Feb. 8.
He said he studies “how regional weather patterns and extreme weather events are related to climate change and how to use those relationships to predict weather and climate better” and that he is also interested in the effects of extreme weather on society.
An atmospheric river is a “filament of very moist and windy conditions that is longer than it is wide,” Gershunov said.

The California Energy Commission has awarded a $1.5 million contract to three University of California campuses, including UC San Diego, that will work in tandem to better simulate climate change scenarios that can be used by utilities and others to anticipate the effects.
The contract, split among UCLA, UC Berkeley and UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, will be used to “provide what are called downscaled climate simulations over the state of California,” said Dan Cayan, a climate scientist at SIO and principal investigator for the project.
