This episode first published on February 28, 2018 and has recently been moved to Anchor.

The second episode introduces listeners to  the idea of atmospheric rivers, as well as two other important topics:  how weather and climate are different from one another, and how water  and climate are related. I spoke with Dr. Cory Baggett, a post-doctoral  fellow at Colorado State Univerity, and Dr. Dave Dubois, the New Mexico  State Climatologist.
