TL;DR: The most important sources of atmospheric moisture at the global scale are identified, both oceanic and terrestrial, and a characterization is made of how continental regions are influenced by water from different moisture source regions as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, an objective 3-D Lagrangian model (FLEXPART) was used to detect major oceanic moisture source areas and the associated continental regions significantly influenced by each moisture source.

TL;DR: In this paper, 19 analyses by 18 different research groups, often using quite different methodologies, of 12 extreme events that occurred in 2012 are presented, and the differences also provide insights into the structural uncertainty of event attribution, the uncertainty that arises directly from the differences in analysis methodology.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of the Mann-Kendall test was used to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution of drought conditions in the Mediterranean during the 20th century, with results pointing towards a significant decline of absolute extreme values in central areas (Italy and Balkans) and a less clear picture emerging in western (Iberia) and eastern (Turkey) realms.

TL;DR: Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow regions responsible for the majority of the poleward water vapour transport across the midlatitudes as discussed by the authors, and have been labelled as atmospheric rivers in the 1990s, and have since become a well-studied feature of midlatitude climate.
