Evaluating snow models with varying process representations for hydrological applications

Much effort has been invested in developing snow models over several decades, resulting in a wide variety of empirical and physically based snow models. For the most part, these models are built on similar principles. The greatest differences are found in ...

3-D simulations of snow transport, erosion and deposition using a Large Eddy Simulation coupled with a Lagrangian Stochastic Model

Michael Lehning, Katherine Colby Leonard, Francesco Comola, Ernesto Trujillo Gomez, Marco Giovanni Giometto

The development of reliable models of near surface snow-atmosphere interactions from small to large scale is motivated by the need for a better understanding of the fluid- and morpho-dynamic processes in Polar environments. These interactions drive observe ...

Model Predictive Control for Market-Based Demand Response Participation

Colin Neil Jones, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Faran Ahmed Qureshi

In this study, we investigate the maximum possible profit for a commercial office building participating in New York’s Day-Ahead Demand Response (DADR) program. We formulate an optimal control problem, assuming perfect knowledge of future weather, occupanc ...

Stochastic simulation of intermittent rainfall using the concept of “dry drift”

Alexis Berne, Marc Schleiss, Sabine Chamoun

A stochastic rainfall simulator based on the concept of “dry drift” is proposed. It is characterized by a new and nonstationary representation of rainfall in which the average rain rate (in log-space) depends on the distance to the closest surrounding dry ...

Orographic effects on snow deposition patterns in mountainous terrain

Michael Lehning, Alexis Berne, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, Danny Eddy Scipion Castillo

Orographic lifting of air masses and other topographically modified flows induce cloud and precipitation formation at larger scales and preferential deposition of precipitation at smaller scales. In this study, we examine orographic effects on small-scale ...

Mobile and static sensors in a citizen-based observatory of water

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Steven Vincent Weijs, Tristan Jonas Brauchli

Understanding and forecasting water resources and components of the water cycle require spatially and temporally resolved observations of numerous water-related variables. Such observations are often obtained from wireless networks of automated weather sta ...

Flow during the evening transition over steep Alpine slopes

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Daniel Nadeau

A field campaign, the Slope Experiment near La Fouly (SELF-2010), was conducted to monitor the evening transition of slope flows on clear-sky days from July to September 2010 in a narrow valley of the Swiss Alps. A steep west-facing slope with inclinations ...

An experimental model approach of biologically-assisted silicate dissolution with olivine and Escherichia coli - Impact on chemical weathering of mafic rocks and atmospheric CO2 drawdown

Philippe Gillet, Bruno Garcia

Chemical weathering of Mg, Ca-silicates and alumino-silicates contributes significantly to the drawdown of atmospheric CO2 over long time scales. The present work focuses on how this mode of weathering may change in the presence of free-living bacteria in ...
