Study: Sequential atmospheric rivers can triple economic damage

Feb 1, 2024 | stormwater.com | Katie Johns |Adam Tank

A new study sheds light on how much more damage atmospheric rivers cause when they are sequential, according to a press release from the University of Florida. Analyzing 30 years of weather and economic loss data, the team discovered that when atmospheric rivers occur sequentially, the economic damage more than triples the expected losses compared to standalone events. These findings surpass initial expectations, showing the negative impacts of consecutive atmospheric river occurrences.
