Moisture transport in mid-latitude cyclones [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2011 We discuss how synoptic-scale variability controls the transport of atmospheric water vapour by mid-latitude cyclones. Idealised simulations are used to investigate quantitatively what factors determine the magnitude of cyclone moisture transport.

Stochastic Models for the Kinematics of Moisture Transport and Condensation in Homogeneous Turbulent Flows [PDF]
, 2006 The transport of a condensing passive scalar is studied as a prototype model for the kinematics of moisture transport on isentropic surfaces. Condensation occurs whenever the scalar concentration exceeds a specified local saturation value.

Moisture transport axes: a unifying definition for tropical moisture exports, atmospheric rivers, and warm moist intrusions [PDF]
Weather and Climate DynamicsThe horizontal water vapour transport is mainly organised in narrow elongated filaments. These filaments are referred to with a variety of names depending on the context, e.g.

Comparison of impact and water vapor characteristics between two types of floods in Eastern China
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Floods are one of the most devastating natural hazards, resulting in social and economic losses. As a flood-prone area, East China (EC) suffers floods mainly related to monsoons and tropical cyclones (TC).

Validation of a coupled heat, vapour and liquid moisture transport model for porous materials implemented in CFD [PDF]
, 2014 Moisture-related damage is an important issue when looking at the performance of building envelopes. In order to accurately predict the moisture behaviour of building components, building designers can resort to Heat, Air and Moisture (HAM) models.
