Analysis of the variation of the 0°C isothermal altitude during intense rainfall events

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Bettina Schaefli, Fränz Zeimetz

The analysis aims at analysing the evolution of the 0°C isothermal altitude during intense rainfall events. The following steps are followed: • The rainfall events of around 100 meteorological stations measuring at hourly time step are considered. • Two me ...

Solid hydrometeor classification and riming degree estimation from pictures collected with a Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera

Alexis Berne, Christophe Praz

A new method to automatically classify solid hydrometeors based on Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera (MASC) images is presented. For each individual image, the method relies on the calculation of a set of geometric and texture-based descriptors to simultaneousl ...

Sensitivity of simulated summer monsoonal precipitation in Langtang Valley, Himalaya, to cloud microphysics schemes in WRF

Margaux Caroline Patricia Couttet

A better understanding of regional-scale precipitation patterns in the Himalayan region is required to increase our knowledge of the impacts of climate change on downstream water availability. This study examines the impact of four cloud microphysical sche ...

Temporal evolution of crack propagation propensity in snow in relation to slab and weak layer properties

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Jürg Schweizer, Alec van Herwijnen

If a weak snow layer below a cohesive slab is present in the snow cover, unstable snow conditions can prevail for days or even weeks. We monitored the temporal evolution of a weak layer of faceted crystals as well as the overlaying slab layers at the locat ...

Scaling Precipitation Input to Spatially Distributed Hydrological Models by Measured Snow Distribution

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay

Accurate knowledge on snow distribution in alpine terrain is crucial for various applications such as flood risk assessment, avalanche warning or managing water supply and hydro-power. To simulate the seasonal snow cover development in alpine terrain, the ...

Incorporating Climate Change Predictions in the Analysis of Weather-based Uncertainty

Marilyne Andersen, Parag Rastogi

This paper proposes randomly-generated synthetic time series incorporating climate change forecasts to quantify the variation in energy simulation due to weather inputs, i.e., Monte Carlo analysis for uncertainty and sensitivity quantification. The method ...

Examining Building Design Decisions Under Long Term Weather Variability and Microclimatic Effects: A case-based exploratory study

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Parag Rastogi, Margaux Marie Valérie Peltier, Minu Agarwal

Thermal building simulation currently uses Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) data to guide the design decision-making process or for compliance with energy standards. TMY data usually excludes extremes and in many cases are gathered from microclimatic cont ...

Wearable barometric pressure sensor to improve postural transition recognition of mobility-impaired stroke patients

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Fabien Massé

Sit-to-stand and Stand-to-sit transfers (STS) provide relevant information regarding the functional limitation of mobility- impaired patients. The characterization of STS pattern using a single trunk fixed inertial sensor has been proposed as an objective ...

Seasonal evolution of snow cover on Antarctic sea ice

Katherine Colby Leonard, Ernesto Trujillo Gomez

Snow cover on Antarctic sea ice plays a key role in the evolution of ice thickness, its estimation from space-borne altimeters, and structuring of sea ice ecosystems. Yet until recently, there have been very few continuous observations of the seasonal evol ...
