Comparison of selected surface level ERA5 variables against in‐situ observations in the continental Arctic
Julia Schmale, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Jules Gros-Daillon
In this study, data from 17 ground-based, continental Arctic observatories areused to evaluate the performance of the European Centre for Medium-RangeWeather Forecasts Reanalysis version 5 (ERA5) reanalysis model. Three aspectsare evaluated: (i) the overal ...
2024Intermediate complexity atmospheric modeling in complex terrain: is it right?
Michael Lehning, Dylan Stewart Reynolds, Michael Haugeneder
Dynamic downscaling of atmospheric forcing data to the hectometer resolution has shown increases in accuracy for landsurface models, but at great computational cost. Here we present a validation of a novel intermediate complexity atmospheric model, HICAR, ...
Frontiers Media Sa2024Comparison of reduced model predictions for divertor detachment onset and reattachment timescales in ASDEX Upgrade and JET experiments
Building on prior analysis of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) experiments (Henderson et al 2023 Nucl. Fusion 63 086024), this study compares simple analytical formula predictions for divertor detachment onset and reattachment timescales in JET experiments. Detachment ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Good enough: Intermediate complexity atmospheric models improve the representation of processes affecting seasonal snow
Snow plays a crucial role in processes regulating ecosystems, the climate, and human development. Mountain snowpack in particular has great relevance for downstream communities. Knowledge about the distribution and properties of the snowpack thus help in p ...
EPFL2024On the importance of the humidity flux for the surface mass balance in the accumulation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet
It is highly uncertain how the humidity flux between the snow surface and the atmosphere contributes to the surface mass balance (SMB) of the interior Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). Due to sparse observations, evaluations of the simulated humidity flux are li ...
Gottingen2024Sensitivity Analysis of the Lumped Thermal Model of the EU 170 GHz Gyrotron Magnetron Injection Gun
Jean-Philippe Hogge, Francisco Sanchez
The ITER Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating and Current Drive (ECRH&CD) system relies on 1 MW 170 GHz Gyrotrons to provide the mm-wave power needed for plasma heating, current drive, and magneto-hydrodynamic control. The design and modeling of the contro ...
Piscataway2024Waterborne Virus Transport and Risk Assessment in Lake Geneva Under Climate Change
Climate changes influence lake hydrodynamics and radiation levels and thus may affect the fate and transport of waterborne pathogens in lakes. This study examines the impact of climate change on the fate, transport, and associated risks of four waterborne ...
2024A seasonal snowpack model forced with dynamically downscaled forcing data resolves hydrologically relevant accumulation patterns
Michael Lehning, Tobias Jonas, Dylan Stewart Reynolds
The Mountain snowpack stores months of winter precipitation at high elevations, supplying snowmelt to lowland areas in drier seasons for agriculture and human consumption worldwide. Accurate seasonal predictions of the snowpack are thus of great importance ...
Frontiers Media Sa2024Snowfall deposition in mountainous terrain: a statistical downscaling scheme from high-resolution model data on simulated topographies
One of the primary causes of non-uniform snowfall deposition on the ground in mountainous regions is the preferential deposition of snow, which results from the interaction of near-surface winds with topography and snow particles. However, producing high-r ...
Lausanne2024A multimodel analysis of post-Glasgow climate targets and feasibility challenges
Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana
The COP26 Glasgow process resulted in many countries strengthening their 2030 emissions reduction targets and announcing net-zero pledges for 2050–2070 but it is not clear how this would impact future warming. Here, we use four diverse integrated assessmen ...
