Atmospheric rivers are flowing streams of water vapor in Earth ’s atmosphere that have a major impact on levels of rain and snow.

Scientists at UC Santa Barbara found that atmospheric rivers in both hemispheres have moved approximately 6 to 10 closer to the poles over the past 40 years .

This means that the areas affected by atmospheric rivers are farther north in the Northern Hemisphere and farther south in the Southern Hemisphere than they used to be.
