Nitrogen oxides in the free troposphere: implications for tropospheric oxidants and the interpretation of satellite NO2 measurements
Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois
Satellite-based retrievals of tropospheric NO(2)columns are widely used to infer NOx (equivalent to NO + NO2) emissions. These retrievals rely on model information for the vertical distribution of NO2. The free tropospheric background above 2 km is particu ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2023Augmenting the performance of impoverished sensor networks using machine learning and time reversal: Application to lightning nowcasting and location
Lightning is formed in the atmosphere through the combination of intricate dynamic and microphysical processes. Mainly due to this complexity, attempts to solve the important problem of lightning prediction have generally failed to yield accurate results. ...
EPFL2021Gravity Wave Excitation during the Coastal Transition of an Extreme Katabatic Flow in Antarctica
Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon
The offshore extent of Antarctic katabatic winds exerts a strong control on the production of sea ice and the formation of polynyas. In this study, we make use of a combination of ground-based remotely sensed and meteorological measurements at Dumont d'Urv ...
AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC2020Improved Representation of Clouds in the Atmospheric Component LMDZ6A of the IPSL-CM6A Earth System Model
The cloud parameterizations of the LMDZ6A climate model (the atmospheric component of the IPSL-CM6 Earth system model) are entirely described, and the global cloud distribution and cloud radiative effects are evaluated against the CALIPSO-CloudSat and CERE ...
AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION2020Robust aircraft trajectory planning under uncertain convective environments with optimal control and rapidly developing thunderstorms
Convective weather, and thunderstorm development in particular, represents a major source of disruption, delays and safety hazards in the Air Traffic Management system. Thunderstorms are challenging to forecast and evolve on relatively rapid timescales; th ...
2019A severe hail storm in complex topography in Switzerland - Observations and processes
Nikola Besic, Urs Martin Germann
This paper studies a damaging hail storm that occurred on 6 June 2015 in the complex topography of Switzerland. The storm persisted for several hours and produced large hail resulting in significant damage. Storms of comparable severity occur on average on ...

ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC2018Effects of regional and local atmospheric dynamics on the aerosol and CCN load over Athens
Aerosol and cloud condensate nuclei (CCN) measurements in the area of Athens during HyGRA-CD campaign (May–June 2014) identified a significant diversity in particle properties. In this study we select two distinct cases in terms of meteorology and air mass ...
2018Investigation of snow melt dynamics and boundary layer processes over a melting snow surface
In this thesis, we investigate the surface energy balance of a snow pack for a continuous and a patchy snow cover. Snow surface temperatures have been validated to assess the accuracy of the surface energy balance of a continuous snow pack for individual p ...
EPFL2018Representation of Horizontal Transport Processes in Snowmelt Modeling by Applying a Footprint Approach
Michael Lehning, Sebastian Schlögl, Charles Fierz
The energy balance of an alpine snow cover significantly changes once the snow cover gets patchy. The local advection of warm air causes above-average snow ablation rates at the upwind edge of the snow patch. As lateral transport processes are typically no ...
