Synoptic conditions and atmospheric moisture pathways associated with virga and precipitation over coastal Adelie Land in Antarctica
Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon, Nicolas Jean François Jullien
Precipitation falling over the coastal regions of Antarctica often experiences low-level sublimation within the dry katabatic layer. The amount of water that reaches the ground surface is thereby considerably reduced. This paper investigates the synoptic c ...
2020Synoptic moisture pathways associated to virga and precipitation over coastal Adélie Land.
The Antarctic ice sheet store large amount of water under solid form over the continent. As climate change is going on, this reservoir already started to contribute to global sea level rise, and will contribute more in the future. With precipitation being ...
2019Investigation of snow melt dynamics and boundary layer processes over a melting snow surface
In this thesis, we investigate the surface energy balance of a snow pack for a continuous and a patchy snow cover. Snow surface temperatures have been validated to assess the accuracy of the surface energy balance of a continuous snow pack for individual p ...
EPFL2018Numerical Experiments of Atmospheric Boundary Layer flows
Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases due to human activity is causing global warming and inducing climate change. A major implication of global warming is the decreasing ice mass in the polar regions resulting in sea-level rise. It is now known that ...
EPFL2018Clustering of winter precipitations in Valais
This master thesis provides an extended study of winter precipitations in Valais (Switzerland). It was rst tried to relate local conditions in Valais, as measured at gauges, to the Hess-Brezowski classication for Europe. It was not possible to clearly rela ...
2017The influence of atmospheric circulation on the mid-Holocene climate of Europe: a data-model comparison
Jed Oliver Kaplan, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Pamela Collins
The atmospheric circulation is a key area of uncertainty in climate model simulations of future climate change, especially in mid-latitude regions such as Europe where atmospheric dynamics have a significant role in climate variability. It has been propose ...
Copernicus Gesellschaft Mbh2014Public expectation as an element of human perception of climate change
Human expectations regarding weather and climate sometimes lead to perceptions of climate change which are not supported by observational evidence. This paper analyses two very characteristic complaints about current climate in Switzerland, i.e., the lack ...
