A seasonal snowpack model forced with dynamically downscaled forcing data resolves hydrologically relevant accumulation patterns
Michael Lehning, Tobias Jonas, Dylan Stewart Reynolds
The Mountain snowpack stores months of winter precipitation at high elevations, supplying snowmelt to lowland areas in drier seasons for agriculture and human consumption worldwide. Accurate seasonal predictions of the snowpack are thus of great importance ...
Frontiers Media Sa2024Lightning Nowcasting Using Solely Lightning Data
Marcos Rubinstein, Amirhossein Mostajabi
Lightning is directly or indirectly responsible for significant human casualties and property damage worldwide. A timely prediction of its occurrence can enable authorities and the public to take necessary precautionary actions resulting in diminishing the ...
Basel2023Using machine learning to generate an open-access cropland map from satellite images time series in the Indian Himalayan region
Crop maps are crucial for agricultural monitoring and food management and can additionally support domain-specific applications, such as setting cold supply chain infrastructure in developing countries. Machine learning (ML) models, combined with freely-av ...
Amsterdam2023Weather Impacts on Indoor Radon Short-Term Measurements in Switzerland
Radon is a natural and radioactively well-known carcinogenic indoor air pollutant. Since 2020, a radon short-term proactive methodology has been proposed by Swiss authorities, which aims to evaluate the probability of overpassing the national reference val ...
MDPI2023Improved marine debris detection in satellite imagery with automatic refinement of coarse hand annotations
Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Elif Dilge Gül
Plastic litter is a major environmental hazard that endangers human, animal, and plant health on the planet. A substantial portion of plastic pollutants is washed from rivers and beaches into the oceans and aggregates at the surface as marine debris before ...
2023Towards reliable retrievals of cloud droplet number for non-precipitating planetary boundary layer clouds and their susceptibility to aerosol
Athanasios Nenes, Paraskevi Georgakaki, Romanos Foskinis
Remote sensing has been a key resource for developing extensive and detailed datasets for studying and constraining aerosol-cloud-climate interactions. However, aerosol-cloud collocation challenges, algorithm limitations, as well as difficulties in unravel ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Monitoring Mesoscale to Submesoscale Processes in Large Lakes with Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery: The Case of Lake Geneva
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari, Mehrshad Foroughan
As in oceans, large-scale coherent circulations such as gyres and eddies are ubiquitous features in large lakes that are subject to the Coriolis force. They play a crucial role in the horizontal and vertical distribution of biological, chemical and physica ...
2022Considering snow depositions and transport mechanisms in meteorological analysis of predicting snow loads on buildings
Michael Lehning, Borui Zhang, Qingwen Zhang
The meteorological conditions determine snow evolutions on and around buildings. Those climatic impacts have been independently considered in the current design codes of buildings, namely the wind pressure and the snow load. But snow load estimates are onl ...
ELSEVIER2022Coupling remote sensing and particle tracking to estimate trajectories in large water bodies
Tamar Kohn, Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Chaojie Li
Propelled by the rapid development of equipment, technology and computational power, the monitoring and simulation of the hydrodynamics in lakes have steadily advanced. In contrast, water quality simulations are more difficult to implement, due to the diff ...
