Tagging moisture sources with Lagrangian and inertial tracers: application to intense atmospheric river events

Two Lagrangian tracer tools are evaluated for studies on atmospheric moisture sources and pathways. In these methods, a moisture volume is assigned to each particle, which is then advected by the wind flow. Usual Lagrangian methods consider this volume to remain constant and the particle to foll...
