Tagging moisture sources with Lagrangian and inertial tracers: Application to intense atmospheric river events Vicente Pérez-Muñuzuri, Jorge Eiras-Barca, and Daniel Garaboa-Paz Earth Syst. Dynam. Discuss., https//doi.org/10.5194/esd-2018-8,2018 Manuscript under review for ESD (discussion: open, 1 comment) Two Lagrangian tracers tools are evaluated for studies on atmospheric moisture sources and pathways. Usual Lagrangian methods consider the initial moisture volume to remain constant and the particle follows flow path lines exactly. In a different approach, the initial volume can be considered to depend on time as it is advected by the flow, due to thermodynamic processes. Drag and buoyancy forces must be considered then.
