The MIMIC Total Precipitable Water product during the period 0400 UTC on 06 March to 1200 UTC on 08 March 2023 (above) displayed the poleward transport of an atmospheric river (AR) that moved across Alaska and then the North Pole — eventually passing over Svalbard (located between Norway and Greenland). As this AR was... Read More
