CCN activity, variability and influence on droplet formation during the HygrA-Cd Campaign in Athens

Measurements of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations (cm-3) at five levels of supersaturation between 0.2-1%, together with remote sensing profiling and aerosol size distributions, were performed at an urban background site of Athens during the H ...

Slash-and-burn agriculture and tropical cyclone activity in Madagascar: Implication for soil fertility dynamics and corn performance

Alexandre Buttler, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills, Thomas Guillaume, Justine Marie Gay des Combes

On the western coast of Madagascar, the dry tropical forest of Kirindy may disappear in the next 50 years because of its rapid conversion into agricultural land by slash-and-burn cultivation. The slash-and-burn fields are cultivated during 3 years in avera ...

Change in snow distribution patterns over an Antarctic ice floe following a snow storm event

Michael Lehning, Katherine Colby Leonard, Ernesto Trujillo Gomez

Sea ice, snow and atmosphere interactions are major drivers of the spatial distribution of snow over sea ice in polar regions. Here, we quantify changes caused by a snow storm in the spatial distribution of snow over an Antarctic ice floe at resolutions of ...

Effects of successive floods on bed load transport in a steep flume.

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont, Pascal Venetz

Rivers in mountainous areas are subject to cyclic perturbations due for instance to summer storms or daily variations in snowmelt. Such phenomena cause successive floods occurring under very similar forcing conditions. However, as shown by several field st ...

Spatially-resolved mean flow and turbulence help explain observed erosion and deposition patterns of snow over Antarctic sea ice

Michael Lehning, Marc Parlange, Katherine Colby Leonard, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau, Ernesto Trujillo Gomez, Marco Giovanni Giometto

Sea ice-atmosphere interactions are major drivers of patterns of sea ice flows and deformations in Polar regions, and affect snow erosion and deposition at the surface. Here, we combine analyses of sea ice surface topography at very high-resolutions (~1-10 ...

Model based power optimisation of wind farms

Maryam Kamgarpour, John Lygeros

We present a framework for maximising the power output of a wind farm considering wake effects. A parameter representing the total power coefficient of a wind farm is introduced, which quantifies the wind speed deficit due to wake. For any given wake model ...

Variability of Winter Storminess in the Eastern United States during the Twentieth Century from Tide Gauges

Cédric René Jean Vonesch

Interannual to multidecadal variability of winter storminess in the eastern United States was studied using water level measurements from coastal tide gauges. The proximity to the coast of the primary winter storm track in the region allows the use of tide ...

Resolution Doubling in 3D-STORM Imaging through Improved Buffers

Pierre Gönczy, Suliana Manley, Debora Keller

Super-resolution imaging methods have revolutionized fluorescence microscopy by revealing the nanoscale organization of labeled proteins. In particular, single-molecule methods such as Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) provide resolution ...

Understanding Small Scale Variability of the Mountain Snow Cover

In mountains the snow cover is heterogeneously distributed in space and time. The spatial and temporal variability of the Alpine snow cover has a major influence on avalanche danger, snow hydrology, mountain ecology and winter tourism. In winter, already d ...

Increasing storm damage to forests in Switzerland from 1858 to 2007

Martine Rebetez

The most severe damage to forests in Central Europe occurs during winter storms caused by Northern Hemispheric mid-latitude cyclones. Storm events in the winter semesters of the past 150 years were investigated to quantify changes and evaluate whether dama ...
