The "Ridiculously Resilient Ridge", sometimes shortened to "Triple R" or "RRR", is the nickname given to a persistent anticyclone that occurred over the far northeastern Pacific Ocean, contributing to the 2011–2017 California drought. The "Ridiculously Resilient Ridge" nickname was originally coined in December 2013 by Daniel Swain on the Weather West Blog,[2] but has since been used widely in popular media[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] as well as in peer-reviewed scientific literature.[10][1][11][12][13][14]
