The research aimed to find the causes and impact of atmospheric rivers - thin concentrated corridors of airborne moisture which could produce severe rainfall.
Lead author of the study Hamish Prince said as the climate warmed these may become more common and intense.

They play an essential role in regional water resources and are responsible for many extreme rainfall events on the western side of mountainous areas and northern New Zealand.
“Depending on the season in these areas, 40 per cent to 86 per cent of the rainfall totals and 50 per cent to 98 per cent of extreme rainfall events are shown to be associated with atmospheric rivers,” the researchers found. ....
