Stratiform Precipitation in the New Climate Regime: How the Atmosphere Organizes With a Broad Jet Stream
Stratiform precipitation developed over Georgia even as the jet stream lost definition. This case study shows how the atmosphere built a new vertical pathway for ascent, organized around the freezing level, and sustained a coherent rain band through deformation, layered stability, and microphysical constraints.
