Intermediate 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 Sa2024Resolving indoor shortwave and longwave human body irradiance variations for mean radiant temperature and local thermal comfort
Dolaana Khovalyg, Arnab Chatterjee, Mohamad Rida
A spatially and directionally resolved longwave and shortwave radiant heat transfer model is presented via a series of experiments in a thermal lab to input surface temperatures and geometries, as well as skin temperature readings from a human subject, in ...
2023Evaluation 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 ...
Hoboken2023Arctic warming by abundant fine sea salt aerosols from blowing snow
Jian Wang, Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, Xin Yang, Markus Frey
The Arctic warms nearly four times faster than the global average, and aerosols play an increasingly important role in Arctic climate change. In the Arctic, sea salt is a major aerosol component in terms of mass concentration during winter and spring. Howe ...
2023Assessment of the Thermal-Hydraulic Performance of the European DEMO NbTi Bus Bars
Kamil Sedlák, Rainer Wesche, Roberto Guarino
We present a numerical assessment of the thermal-hydraulic performance of the NbTi bus bars designed for the European DEMO. We consider the CS, TF and PF bus bars, as well as two alternative TF options for high-current operations. The main sources of stati ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Forward scattering of snow as a factor in local surface energy balance and winter PV production
Because of its high albedo, snow changes the surface energy balance very signiKcantly and this introduces a strong positive feed-back loop with the local climate. In complex, mountainous terrain, the high albedo causes shortwave solar radiation to be reQec ...
2021Competition between cooling and shortwave radiation in shaping near-surface convection in pelagic waters of Lake Geneva
When lake surface waters above the temperature of maximum density 4◦C cools, the verysurface fluid parcels become denser than their neighbours below. The latter process leads to a gravitationally unstable density distribution which may trigger ‘free convec ...
2021Black carbon and dust in the Third Pole glaciers: revaluated concentrations, mass absorption cross-sections and contributions to glacier ablation
Julia Schmale, Yang Li, Xinyang Li
In snow and ice, light-absorbing particles (LAPs), such as black carbon (BC) and dust, accelerate the melting of Third Pole glaciers (TPGs). In this study, we revaluated LAP concentrations in the snow pits of TPGs (SP-TPGs), measured LAP mass absorption cr ...
2021Modeling Extreme Warm-Air Advection in the Arctic During Summer: The Effect of Mid-Latitude Pollution Inflow on Cloud Properties
Usually the Arctic is relatively free of anthropogenic influence in summer, which means that particles from natural sources can be the most significant nuclei for cloud droplets. However, this is not the case during anomalously warm-air intrusions when the ...
2021Numerical characterization and engineering of transport in morphologically complex heterogeneous media
A multi-scale numerical methodology for the assessment of radiation and optical characteristics of complex structured soot-contaminated snow layers was investigated first. The methodology accounted for the exact morphology at the various scales and utilize ...
