Correction of raindrop size distributions measured by Parsivel disdrometers, using a two-dimensional video disdrometer as a reference

The raindrop size distribution (DSD) quantifies the microstructure of rainfall and is critical to studying precipitation processes. We present a method to improve the accuracy of DSD measurements from Parsivel (particle size and velocity) disdrometers, usi ...

Controls on the diurnal streamflow cycles in two subbasins of an alpine headwater catchment

Marc Parlange, Steven Vincent Weijs, Marc Calaf Bracons, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Raphaël Mutzner

In high-altitude alpine catchments, diurnal streamflow cycles are typically dominated by snowmelt or ice melt. Evapotranspiration-induced diurnal streamflow cycles are less observed in these catchments but might happen simultaneously. During a field campai ...

Controls on diurnal streamflow cycles in a high altitude catchment in the Swiss Alps

Marc Parlange, Steven Vincent Weijs, Marc Calaf Bracons, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Raphaël Mutzner

We study the diurnal streamflow cycles in a high altitude catchment where a large field campaign has been undertaken. In one monitored sub-basin, the cycle is evapotranspiration-dominated, in another, the cycle is icemelt-dominated. The two processes happe ...

Polarimetric X-band weather radar measurements in the tropics: radome and rain attenuation correction

Marc Schneebeli Zeugin

A polarimetric X-band radar has been deployed during one month (April 2011) for a field campaign in Fortaleza, Brazil, together with three additional laser disdrometers. The disdrometers are capable of measuring the raindrop size distributions (DSDs), henc ...

Coatings and clusters of carboxylic acids in carbon-containing atmospheric particles from spectromicroscopy and their implications for cloud-nucleating and optical properties

Satoshi Takahama, Shuai Liu

Particle shape and distribution of chemical compounds within individual particles are implied in the parameterizations used in air quality and climate models for radiative transfer, volatility, and mass transfer. In this study we employ Scanning Transmissi ...
