Parameterizing snow saltation: the exponential decay of the mass flux profile and its relation to the saltation dynamics

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Armin Sigmund, Daniela Brito Melo

Drifting snow events lead to snow redistribution and enhance snow sublimation. Taking into account the importance of snow sublimation to the correct prediction of the surface mass balance, a general consensus has emerged within the scientific community on ...

Meteorology and snow transport at S17 near Syowa, Antarctica, in austral summer 2018/2019

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Armin Sigmund, Daniela Brito Melo, Francesco Comola

This dataset contains measurement and simulation data. The measurements characterize the standard meteorology, turbulence, and snow transport at the S17 site near Syowa Station in East Antarctica during an expedition in austral summer 2018/2019. Large-eddy ...

Climatology of atmospheric boundary layer height over Switzerland

Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte

Determining the height of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is of crucial importance as it is a key parameter in air-quality modelling and weather forecasting. Continuous remote sensing measurements allow to estimate this parameter based on temperature, h ...

Options to correct local turbulent flux measurements for large-scale fluxes using an approach based on large-eddy simulation

Peter Andreas Brugger

The eddy-covariance method provides the most direct estimates for fluxes between ecosystems and the atmosphere. However, dispersive fluxes can occur in the presence of secondary circulations, which can inherently not be captured by such single-tower measur ...

Effects of leading-edge separation on the vortex-induced vibration of an elongated bluff body

Guiyue Duan, Hongyu Li

Wind-tunnel experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of leading-edge separation on the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of an elastically-supported elongated bluff body. Solid wind barriers of various heights were fixed in the leading edge to ad ...

Analysis of Pitot tube Airflow Velocity Sensor Behavior in Blockage Situations

Ata Jedari Golparvar

Several airplanes crashes throughout the past decades are linked to the failure of the airplane flow velocity sensor known as pitot device or pitot tube. The study of its behavior in blockage, either due to human errors or due to environmental factors, cou ...

Using global reanalysis data to quantify and correct airflow distortion bias in shipborne wind speed measurements

Julia Schmale, Sebastian Johannes Heinz-Josef Landwehr

At sea, wind forcing is responsible for the formation and development of surface waves and represents an important source of near-surface turbulence. Therefore, processes related to near-surface turbulence and wave breaking, such as sea spray emission and ...

Five-minute average horizontal wind velocity data combined from both sensors (which has been corrected for air-flow distortion) from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) 2016/2017 legs 0 to 4.

Julia Schmale, Jenny Thomas, Sebastian Johannes Heinz-Josef Landwehr

Dataset abstract The horizontal wind velocity data from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) 2016/2017 legs 0 to 4 has been corrected for air-flow distortion. The measurements from both the port and starboad side anemometer were ...

Gravity Wave Excitation during the Coastal Transition of an Extreme Katabatic Flow in Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

The offshore extent of Antarctic katabatic winds exerts a strong control on the production of sea ice and the formation of polynyas. In this study, we make use of a combination of ground-based remotely sensed and meteorological measurements at Dumont d'Urv ...

One-minute average horizontal wind velocity data (not corrected for air-flow distortion) from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) 2016/2017 legs 0 to 4.

Julia Schmale, Jenny Thomas, Sebastian Johannes Heinz-Josef Landwehr

Dataset abstract This dataset contains the one-minute average horizontal wind velocity data from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) 2016/2017 legs 0 to 4. The data has been filtered for spurious observations and the true wind ...
