Ice-covered Lake Onega: effects of radiation on convection and internal waves

Early-spring under-ice convection in the Petrozavodsk Bay of Lake Onega (Russia) was investigated as part of an interdisciplinary research project conducted during March 2015. Measurements performed using a thermistor chain and vertical profiling sensors w ...

Anthropogenic- and natural sources of dust in peatland during the Anthropocene

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz

As human impact have been increasing strongly over the last decades, it is crucial to distinguish human-induced dust sources from natural ones in order to define the boundary of a newly proposed epoch -the Anthropocene. Here, we track anthropogenic signatu ...

Reliable Averages and Risky Extremes

Michael Lehning, Annelen Kahl, Viet Anh Nguyen, Karine Maria Sarrasin

With the perspective of Switzerland’s phase-out from nuclear energy, solar energy potential may take a leading role for the country’s future in renewable energy. Unlike nuclear power stations, photovoltaic (PV) production is prone to intermittency as it de ...

Spatio-temporal stability of the Kármán vortex street and the effect of confinement

François Gallaire, Cristobal Manuel Arratia Martinez, Saviz Mowlavi

The instability of the Kármán vortex street is revisited under a spatio-temporal perspective that allows the taking into account of the advection of the vortices by the external flow. We analyse a simplified point vortex model and show through numerical si ...

Wake flow in a wind farm during a diurnal cycle

Fernando Porté Agel, Mahdi Abkar, Ahmad Sharifi

The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) undergoes substantial changes in its structure and dynamics in the course of a day due to the transient nature of forcing factors such as the surface fluxes of heat and momentum. The non-stationary nature of the mean wi ...

Suppressed convective rainfall by agricultural expansion in southeastern Burkina Faso

Marc Parlange, Gabriel George Katul, Natalie Claire Ceperley, Theophile Mande, Scott W. Tyler

With the green economy being promoted as a path to sustainable development and food security within the African continent, the influx of agricultural land is proliferating at a rapid pace often replacing natural savannah forests. Where agriculture is prima ...

An analysis of the initiation of upward flashes from tall towers with particular reference to Gaisberg and Säntis Towers

Marcos Rubinstein, Alaleh Tajalli

In this paper, we present an analysis of the lightning events preceding initiation of upward lightning flashes from the Gaisberg and the Santis Towers. It is found that the majority of upward lightning discharges from both towers are initiated without any ...

The influence of water table depth and the free atmospheric state on convective rainfall predisposition

Gabriele Manoli, Sara Bonetti, Gabriel George Katul

A mechanistic model for the soil-plant system is coupled to a conventional slab representation of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) to explore the role of groundwater table (WT) variations and free atmospheric (FA) states on convective rainfall predispo ...
