Short summary
We improve the detection of long corridors of intense moisture transport, known as atmospheric rivers, that affect Antarctica. Our new method can track these rivers even when they curve, cross the South Pole, or break into smaller parts. We show that they cause even more heavy snowfall and warm weather on the continent than previously thought, clarifying their role in shaping Antarctic climate and ice loss.
