Brown carbon absorption in the Mediterranean basin from local and long-range transported biomass burning air masses

This study examines the impact of light absorption from biomass burning (BB) brown carbon (BrC) in the Mediterranean basin from local and distant fire incidents during a typical fire season in August 2019 and under severe fire activity in August 2021. The ...

Suspended sediments in Lake Geneva: Observations, settling behaviour and mechanisms in the Rhône River plume

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Htet Kyi Wynn, Violaine Florette Piton, Valentin Kindschi

In estuaries and marine environments, primary particles are frequently transported as large flocculated particles. This study provides, for the first time, evidence of in situ flocculation in Lake Geneva, a glacier-fed freshwater lake on the Swiss/French b ...

Wind-driven interbasin exchange and hypolimnetic upwelling during wintertime in a large, deep lake (Lake Geneva)

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Rafael Sebastian Reiss

Distinct sub-basins and large embayments are a ubiquitous feature of many lakes. Horizontal gradients in water quality between basins can result from a number of processes. For example, different seasonal mixing regimes between basins with different maximu ...

The role of Organophosphate Esters Flame Retardants and plasticizers (OPEs) in Phosphorus Cycle in the atmosphere of the Mediterranean Sea

Athanasios Nenes, Kalliopi Violaki, Christos Panagiotopoulos

The atmosphere is considered as an important external nutrient source for the marine environment, especially in remote ocean waters or the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea. Phosphorus (P) is a critical nutrient affecting primary productivity in large areas o ...

Lightning Potential Index performances in multimicrophysical cloud-resolving simulations of a back-building mesoscale convective system: The Genoa 2014 event

Martina Lagasio

Severe weather events are responsible for hundreds of fatalities and millions of euros of damage every year on the Mediterranean basin. Lightning activity is a characteristic phenomenon of severe weather and often accompanies torrential rainfall, which, un ...

Variability of the raindrop size distribution across scales in Mediterranean rainfall

Timothy Hugh Raupach

Measurement of rain is made difficult by the high variability of the precipitation process, down to raindrop scale. Point measurements are generally accurate, but their lack of spatial representativeness is a significant limitation. Weather radars indirect ...

Flood frequency matters: Why climate change degrades deep-water quality of peri-alpine lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest

Sediment-laden riverine floods transport large quantities of dissolved oxygen into the receiving deep layers of lakes. Hence, the water quality of deep lakes is strongly influenced by the frequency of riverine floods. Although flood frequency reflects clim ...

Precipitation, soil moisture and runoff variability in a small river catchment (Ardeche, France) during HyMeX Special Observation Period 1

Jacopo Grazioli, Timothy Hugh Raupach

Flash flooding is a potentially destructive natural hazard known to occur in the Cevennes-Vivarais region in southern France. HyMeX (Hydrological Cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment) is an international program focused on understanding the hydrological c ...
