Short summary
In this paper, we present a new study on atmospheric rivers (ARs) over Scandinavia and how they influence the regional precipitation. Although ARs are fairly well studied in other parts of the world, their influence on the Scandinavian climate remains less explored. Our results show that although ARs occur relatively infrequently over Scandinavia, they exert a large influence on the regional precipitation, contributing up to 40 % of the annual precipitation.
