Urban boundary-layer flows in complex terrain: Dynamic interactions during a hot and dry summer season in Phoenix, Arizona

Anthropogenic modification of natural landscapes to urban environments impacts land-atmosphere interactions in the boundary layer. Ample research has demonstrated the effect of such landscape transitions on development of the urban heat island (UHI), but c ...

Seasonal asymmetries and long-term trends in atmospheric and ionospheric temperatures in polar regions and their dependence on solar activity (SATS)

Brandon Jacobus Adrianus Van Schaik

This is chapter 1 of the State of Environmental Science in Svalbard (SESS) report 2022. We have used temperature measurements from a number of observatories in and above Svalbard to study temperature variations, and their relation to solar activity. Sea te ...

A moored profiling platform to study turbulent mixing in density currents in a large lake

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, François Mettra, Rafael Sebastian Reiss, Valentin Kindschi, Benjamin Daniel Graf

During calm cooling periods, differential cooling can induce winter cascading which is an important process for littoral-pelagic exchange and deep water renewal in large, deep lakes (Fer et al., 2001; Peeters et al., 2003). Generated in the shallow near-sh ...

Spatiotemporal energy-density distribution of time-reversed electromagnetic fields

Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Hamidreza Karami, Elias Per Joachim Le Boudec, Nicolas Mora Parra

Time reversal exploits the invariance of electromagnetic wave propagation in reciprocal and lossless media to localise radiating sources. Time-reversed measurements are back-propagated in a simulated domain and converge to the unknown source location. The ...

Assessing the simulation of snowfall at Dumont d'Urville, Antarctica, during the YOPP-SH special observing campaign

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

The performance of a set of atmospheric models and meteorological reanalyses in the representation of precipitation days in Antarctica is assessed using ground-based observations such as a precipitation gauge and a Micro Rain Radar during the Year Of Polar ...

Evaluation of 30 urban land surface models in the Urban-PLUMBER project: Phase 1 results

Gabriele Manoli, Matthias Roth

Accurately predicting weather and climate in cities is critical for safeguarding human health and strengthening urban resilience. Multimodel evaluations can lead to model improvements; however, there have been no major intercomparisons of urban-focussed la ...

Disentangling the impact of co-varying drought-driven changes to soil moisture, vapor pressure deficit, and temperature on plant carbon and water relations.

Charlotte Grossiord

Recent decades have been characterized by increasing temperatures worldwide, resulting in an exponential climb in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Heat and VPD have been identified as increasingly important drivers of plant functioning in terrestrial biomes a ...

MixCycle: Mixup Assisted Semi-Supervised 3D Single Object Tracking with Cycle Consistency

Mathieu Salzmann, Jiancheng Yang, Kun Sun, Yunhua Zhang

3D single object tracking (SOT) is an indispensable part of automated driving. Existing approaches rely heavily on large, densely labeled datasets. However, annotating point clouds is both costly and time-consuming. Inspired by the great success of cycle t ...

Physicochemical characterization and source apportionment of Arctic ice-nucleating particles observed in Ny-Alesund in autumn 2019

Athanasios Nenes, Ghislain Gilles Jean-Michel Motos, Jörg Wieder, Guangyu Li

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) initiate primary ice formation in Arctic mixed-phase clouds (MPCs), altering cloud radiative properties and modulating precipitation. For atmospheric INPs, the complexity of their spatiotemporal variations, heterogeneous sou ...

Intensification of sub-daily rainfall extremes in a low-rise urban area

Gabriele Manoli

Short-duration extreme rainfall events are the main trigger of flash and pluvial floods in cities. Depending on the local climate zone and urban fabric that affect meteorological variables such as air temperature, humidity, and aerosol concentration, the b ...
