Stable Atmospheric Boundary-Layer Flows over a Steep, Alpine Slope: Observations, Theory and Multi-Scale Transport Dynamics

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Eric Richard Pardyjak

Katabatic flows are high density air flows traversing down a slope under the action of a gravitational force. These flows can be exploited for wind energy and are gaining importance in predicting scalar transport (e.g. pollutants, water vapor, CO2 drainage ...

Generalized Charge Based Model of Double Gate Junctionless FETs Including Inversion

Jean-Michel Sallese, Farzan Jazaeri, Lucian Barbut

In this brief, we have developed a charge-based model for the symmetric double gate junctionless FET that also accounts for the inversion layer when the gate voltage is biased in deep depletion. Basically, this approach represents a generalization of a for ...

Potential impact of land use change on future regional climate in the Southeastern U.S.: Reforestation and crop land conversion

Athanasios Nenes, Pengfei Liu

The impact of future land use and land cover changes (LULCC) on regional and global climate is one of the most challenging aspects of understanding anthropogenic climate change. We study the impacts of LULCC on regional climate in the southeastern U.S. by ...

Modelling Drifting Snow Sublimation and Investigating Small-Scale Snow Transport

Christine Dorothea Groot Zwaaftink

Drifting snow has a large influence on the mountain snow cover and the overlying atmospheric boundary layer. Consequently, drifting snow also affects avalanches, snow hydrology, vegetation and climate. Considerable effort is devoted to understanding the pr ...

Transient Off-Current in Junctionless FETs

Jean-Michel Sallese, Didier Bouvet, Farzan Jazaeri, Lucian Barbut

We report preliminary measurements of transient drain current undershoot with time constants of the order of milliseconds in thick and highly doped n-type junctionless fieldeffect transistors. This effect might be attributed to a process involving generati ...

Fiber optic distributed temperature sensing for the determination of the nocturnal atmospheric boundary layer height

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange

A new method for measuring air temperature profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer at high spatial and temporal resolution is presented. The measurements are based on Raman scattering distributed temperature sensing (DTS) with a fiber optic cable attach ...

Hydrologic response of an alpine watershed: Application of a meteorological wireless sensor network to understand streamflow generation

Martin Vetterli, Marc Parlange, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Daniel Nadeau, Marc Diebold, François Ingelrest, Simone Padoan, Silvia Simoni

A field measurement campaign was conducted from June to October 2009 in a 20 km2 catchment of the Swiss Alps with a wireless network of 12 weather stations and river discharge monitoring. The objective was to investigate the spatial variability of meteorol ...

Advanced Analysis of Propagation Losses in Rectangular Waveguide Structures Using Perturbation of Boundary Conditions

Michael Mattes

In this paper, propagation losses effects present in rectangular waveguide structures are rigorously considered. For this purpose, a new formulation based on the perturbation of the boundary conditions on the metallic walls of the waveguides combined with ...
