Marine heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific intensify landfalling atmospheric rivers on the west coast of North America

Extreme precipitation along the west coast of North America is often associated with atmospheric rivers (ARs), fueled by evaporation from the ocean. When ARs interact with marine heatwaves (MHWs), they can form compound extreme events with amplified hydrological impacts. Here, we quantify how MHWs influence the intensi...
