Congratulations to Diya Kamnani for the publication of her first Ph.D. paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres! This work, titled “Regional and Temporal Variability of Atmospheric River Seasonality: Influences of Detection Algorithms and Moisture Transport Dynamics,” shows that (1) the seasonal patterns of atmospheric rivers (ARs) vary significantly by region, with some areas experiencing consistent peak seasons while others face considerable year-to-year fluctuations; and (2) inconsistencies in AR patterns are influenced by both detection algorithms and the dynamics of moisture transport in the atmosphere.
