Weather of Arabia - Satellite images have observed an amazing scene of the influx of large amounts of tropical water vapor into the atmosphere of the Arabian Peninsula, or the so-called Atmospheric river. This river is the most prominent supporter of the current rainy state, where water vapor is the fuel for rain.

 

What is an "atmospheric river"?

Atmospheric River is a term that expresses long and narrow corridors in the atmosphere to transport condensed water vapor, and these rivers are located in the troposphere where water vapor accumulates and continues for several days.

 

Atmospheric rivers are usually formed over the oceans, when the cold wave moves from west to east, and strong currents of winds move away from the equator, advancing and forming the cold front, transporting air moisture in the form of an air river. A large amount of evaporating and flowing water is more like rivers on land.

 

Atmospheric rivers are responsible for most of the heavy rainfall in the western United States, and most atmospheric rivers are usually formed in the same regions, such as the area between Hawaii and the west coast of the United States called the Pineapple Express.
