The picture perfect storm: Photographs capture the terrifying beauty of clouds gathering over Greenland Last updated at 11:59 AM on 26th December 2008 These incredible photographs look more like a scene from the end of the world than a winter sunrise. The dramatic pictures were taken in north west Greenland by British Arctic photographers Bryan and Cherry Alexander and show a storm brewing over an Inuit community. Mr Cherry said: 'Just about everybody in the village was amazed, including an elderly Inuit hunter who told me that he had never seen anything like that before in his life.' www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1090829/The-picture-perfect-storm-Photographs-capture-terrifying-beauty-clouds-gathering-Greenland.html

Roots of deadly 2010 India flood identified; Findings could improve warnings November 13, 2012 Rasmussen and Robert Houze, a UW professor in atmospheric sciences, studied satellite images and what's called re-analysis data to piece together what happened to create such a torrential downpour. Their conclusions – including that the flash flood was set off by a string of unusual weather events not unlike those that caused devastating flash floods in Colorado and South Dakota in the 1970s – appear in the Nov. 14 Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.

Matt Daniel's WeatherGlobe Nov 30, 2012 US west coast getting hit hard by extreme weather For the majority of the United States, the weather has been relatively tranquil. But the U.S. west coast weather has been stormy, as a series of disturbances continues to sweep across portions of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Idaho. Rainfall totals have been impressive, with some areas receiving over five inches of rain within the past three or four days. The “atmospheric river” www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/atmrivers/ as some meteorologists have termed this event, continues to flow into these regions this weekend to produce even more problems. While high pressure/ridging dominates a large majority of the United States, a flow of storms thanks to a powerful jet stream continues to bring series of disturbances across the west coast. Check out some of these impressive rainfall totals (in inches) across the region that occurred from Tuesday, November 27, 2012 through Friday, November 30, 2012 as of 4:00 AM PST The stormy weather across the Pacific Northwest is occurring thanks to an “atmospheric river” that is set up across the region. The term “atmospheric river” is defined as narrow regions in the atmosphere that are responsible for most of the horizontal transport of water vapor outside of the tropics. These rivers contain the largest amounts of water vapor, the strongest winds, and stall over watersheds vulnerable to flooding which ultimately can create extreme rainfall and floods. This “river” continues to flow into the west coast and it continues to bring a series of strong storm systems that produce heavy rains, accumulating snows, and strong winds. earthsky.org/earth/us-west-coast-getting-hit-hard-by-extreme-weather

The growing threat of surface water flooding in urban areas, Dec 2013 Commonly, flooding occurs when water levels rise and rivers burst their banks – also known as fluvial flooding – or when high tides and stormy weather cause coastal flooding. But less well known are the risks associated with pluvial events, which are caused by intense periods of rainfall. insider.zurich.co.uk/market-expertise/growing-threat-surface-water-flooding-urban-areas/“This problem is also exacerbated by less green spaces,” said Paul. “Urban development, concreting over driveways and the deregulation of planning for many home extensions means that water has nowhere to go. For instance, Thames Water has said that impermeable surfaces in London have doubled in the last five years.

Córdoba: Recovery Effort Underway After Deadly Floods by Indy Staff, 18 February 2015 More than 300mm of rain – the equivalent of around 30% of the annual average – fell within 12 hours on Sunday. The storm caused flash floods in several areas of the province, leading to fatalities and widespread damage to infrastructure. This included an aqueduct, leaving municipalities in the mountainous Sierras Chicas area in the northwest of the province without running water. Provincial Governor José Manuel de la Sota described the rain on Sunday as a “tsunami that fell from the sky”. www.argentinaindependent.com/currentaffairs/newsfromargentina/cordoba-recovery-effort-underway-after-deadly-floods/Inundación (Flood) en Villa Allende, Cordoba, Argentina | 16 02 2015 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKRObg26V6M
