So, this may seem like a weird topic, but I have a reason for it. Does anyone know what atmospheric rivers would have been like during the last ice age (or glacial period, to use the technical term)? Particularly around 70,000 - 45,000 years ago. I'm working on a theory, and I want to know if atmospheric rivers could play a role. Would they have been in different locations? Would they be stronger or weaker? Would they be the same as they are now?
For instance, could you have an atmospheric river forming over australia? Or the middle east? or east africa? china maybe? Meteorology really isn't my area of expertise, but its important to my theory. I would appreciate help here.
