This workshop connects to the NAWDIC mission.

Marking the 10th anniversary of IARC and its first time in Europe, the conference will convene an international, interdisciplinary community to explore the role of atmospheric rivers (ARs) in shaping water availability, weather extremes, and environmental resilience.

We welcome abstracts on the following key themes:

Physical, dynamic, and microphysical aspects of ARs
Aerosol and biogeochemical aspects of ARs
Observing, identifying, and monitoring of ARs
Forecasting of ARs from short to seasonal time scales
Regional aspects and global signatures of ARs
ARs in past, present, and future climates
Role of ARs in the changing cryosphere

This year’s special focus will explore the connection between AR science and stakeholders, including:

Impacts of ARs on the environment and society, including in the context of compound events
ARs and water extremes: from drought to flood & water management
ARs and the Ocean: from physical drivers to biodiversity impacts
