 This month Atmospheric Rivers are in the news. Episode three of "Teek and Tom Explore Planet Earth" takes Teek and Tom for a wild ride to spotlight atmospheric rivers—long, powerful bands of moisture that form over the ocean and can cause extreme flooding once they hit land.
With vivid animation, space-based views of the jet stream (Earth’s storm highway), and kid-friendly explanations, this episode is a perfect way to spark curiosity and deepen understanding of the ocean’s role in shaping weather in the area you live - even if an ocean is thousands of miles away.
