Calibration of ground surface albedo models

Christophe Ballif, Pierre-Jean Alet, Arttu Matias Tuomiranta

The emergence of bifacial photovoltaics as a serious option for large-scale power generation makes the accuracy of the in-situ estimation of ground surface albedo increasingly critical. Recent studies have evaluated the performance of different models but ...

Addressing impact of climate change on wind and solar energy infrastructures: the case of India

Yasmine Zakari

In the first part of this thesis, the comparison of two families of CORDEX suggests the improved performance of the latest version in reproducing the local climate.The results indicate increasing future trends for annual wind speeds in the north-west (+0.0 ...

Numerical and experimental comparisons of the coplanar coalescence of two fluid-driven fractures

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Carlo Peruzzo

The coalescence of two coplanar fractures growing under the symmetric injection of a Newtonian fluid from two point sources provides a unique data set to validate theoretical predictions of hydraulic fracture (HF) growth. We test the theoretical prediction ...

Mixing processes and their ecological implications: From vertical to lateral variability in stratified lakes

Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner

The physical environment of natural waters influences biogeochemical processes to generate specific ecological niches, promoting biophysical interactions. Bacteria and phytoplankton communities can form spatial structures, such as layers and patches. The p ...

On flow duration curve modelling in Alpine catchments

Ana Clara Pereira Barbosa Santos

Mountain regions are considered to be the natural "water towers" of the world due to their importance as sources of many rivers. Reliable tools to estimate the availability and variability of streamflows in such regions are still rare. In this context, the ...

Spatio-temporal patterns in inclined layer convection

Tobias Schneider

This paper reports on a theoretical analysis of the rich variety of spatio-temporal patterns observed recently in inclined layer convection at medium Prandtl number when varying the inclination angle gamma and the Rayleigh number R. The present numerical i ...

Planck 2013 results. VII. HFI time response and beams

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

This paper characterizes the effective beams, the effective beam window functions and the associated errors for the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) detectors. The effective beam is the angular response including the effect of the optics, detectors, ...

Tailoring the Magnetism of Co Atoms on Graphene through Substrate Hybridization

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Fabio Donati, Donat Fabian Natterer, Luca Gragnaniello, Quentin Dubout, Alberto Cavallin

We determine the magnetic properties of individual Co atoms adsorbed on graphene (G) with x-ray absorption spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism. The magnetic ground state of Co adatoms strongly depends on the choice of the metal substrate on which ...

Non-perturbative modelling of energetic particle effects on resistive wall mode: Anisotropy and finite orbit width

Jonathan Graves

A non-perturbative magnetohydrodynamic-kinetic hybrid formulation is developed and implemented into the MARS-K code [Liu et al. , Phys. Plasmas 15 , 112503 (2008)] that takes into account the anisotropy and asymmetry [Graves et al. ,Nature Commun. 3 , 624 ...

The structure of the asteroid 4 Vesta as revealed by models of planet-scale collisions

Philippe Gillet

Asteroid 4 Vesta seems to be a major intact protoplanet, with a surface composition similar to that of the HED (howardite-eucrite-diogenite) meteorites(1-4). The southern hemisphere is dominated by a giant impact scar(5), but previous impact models(6-8) ha ...
