Impressive, but California can do better in a cool-season atmospheric river event, which I'll try and discuss in a future post.

Isaac Rainfall
Below is the result of the Hurricane Isaac deluge.
Looks like 10+ inches with maxima of 15+ inches in southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi coastal area.

Interesting. Is a "cool-season atmospheric river event" the same phenomenon that caused the 1861/1862 California floods?
ReplyDeleteI suspect that even was related to an atmospheric river. See Dettinger et al. (http://tenaya.ucsd.edu/~dettinge/arkstorm_nathaz.pdf) for some discussion of California floods.
