Climate Change Contributions to Increasing Compound Flooding Risk in New York City

Efforts to meaningfully quantify the changes in coastal compound surge- and rainfall -driven flooding hazard associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) and extratropical cyclones (ETCs) in a warming climate have increased in recent years. Despite substantial ...

Brown carbon absorption in the Mediterranean basin from local and long-range transported biomass burning air masses

Athanasios Nenes

This study examines the impact of light absorption from biomass burning (BB) brown carbon (BrC) in the Mediterranean basin from local and distant fire incidents during a typical fire season in August 2019 and under severe fire activity in August 2021. The ...

Positive interactions between corals and damselfish increase coral resistance to temperature stress

Leïla Ezzat

By the century's end, many tropical seas will reach temperatures exceeding most coral species' thermal tolerance on an annual basis. The persistence of corals in these regions will, therefore, depend on their abilities to tolerate recurrent thermal stress. ...

The role of air-sea fluxes for the water vapour isotope signals in the cold and warm sectors of extratropical cyclones over the Southern Ocean

Josué Etienne Gehring, Irina Gorodetskaya

Meridional atmospheric transport is an important process in the climate system and has implications for the availability of heat and moisture at high latitudes. Near-surface cold and warm temperature advection over the ocean in the context of extratropical ...

Vegetation cover and plant-trait effects on outdoor thermal comfort in a tropical city

Gabriele Manoli, Paolo Burlando

An increase in urban vegetation is an often proposed mitigation strategy to reduce urban heat and improve outdoor thermal comfort (OTC). Vegetation can alter urban microclimate through changes in air temperature, mean radiant temperature, humidity, and win ...

Flow Simulation of Gas Cyclone Separator at High Reynolds Number Using theElliptic-Relaxation Hybrid LES/RANS (ER-HRL) Model

Konstantin Mikityuk

In this paper, we investigate Wall-Modeled Large Eddy Simulation (WMLES) in a stairmand high-efficiency cyclone separator at two Reynolds numbers i.e. Re = 33,045 - 280,000. We compute the gas flow using the elliptic relaxation hybrid RANS/LES (ER-HRL). Th ...

A Characterisation of Alpine Mesocyclone Occurrence

Alexis Berne, Marco Gabella, Monika Feldmann, Urs Martin Germann

This work presents a characterisation of mesocyclone occurrence and frequency in the Alpine region, as observed from the Swiss operational radar network; 5 years of radar data are processed with a thunderstorm detection and tracking algorithm and subsequen ...

A snowfall downscaling scheme for mountainous terrain

Michael Lehning

In mountainous terrain, the spatial and temporal variability of the snow cover is driven by the interaction of meteorological processes with the underlying topography. Typically, terrain-precipitation-wind interactions predominantly shape the spatial snow ...

Mixed-Phase Clouds and Precipitation in Southern Ocean Cyclones and Cloud Systems Observed Poleward of 64 degrees S by Ship-Based Cloud Radar and Lidar

Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

Mixed-phase clouds (MPCs), composed of both liquid and ice, are prevalent in Southern Ocean cyclones. A characterization of these clouds on fine vertical scales is required in order to understand the microphysical processes within these clouds, and for mod ...

Source apportionment of atmospheric P over East Mediterranean using the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model

Athanasios Nenes, Kalliopi Violaki, Christos Panagiotopoulos

The PMF receptor model was applied to a combined dataset using specific markers such as phospholipids and sugars together with other metals (e.g. Al, Pb, V) and ions (e.g. K+, Ca2+, SO42-, NO3-) as tracers of main aerosol sources in order to characterize t ...
