Moored observations of turbulent mixing events in deep Lake Garda, Italy

Deep water circulation and mixing processes are responsible for the transport of matter, nutrients and pollutants in deep lakes. Nevertheless, detailed continuous observations are rarely available. To overcome some of these deficiencies and with the aim of ...

Ship-based measurements of ice nuclei concentrations over the Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific and Southern oceans

Julia Schmale, André Welti

Ambient concentrations of ice-forming particles measured during ship expeditions are collected and summarised with the aim of determining the spatial distribution and variability in ice nuclei in oceanic regions. The presented data from literature and prev ...

A comparative study of earthquake source models in high- order accurate tsunami simulations

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Boris Bonev

The discontinuous Galerkin method is used to solve the non-linear spherical shallow water equations with Coriolis force. The numerical method is well-balanced and takes wetting/drying into account. The two fold goal of this work is a comparative study of d ...

How much can we save? Impact of different emission scenarios on future snow cover in the Alps

Michael Lehning, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Sebastian Schlögl

This study focuses on an assessment of the future snow depth for two larger Alpine catchments. Automatic weather station data from two diverse regions in the Swiss Alps have been used as input for the Alpine3D surface process model to compute the snow cove ...

Temperature statistics in the deep ocean

Andrea Cimatoribus

The study of turbulence in geophysical flows benefits from the growing amount of data available via modern sensor technologies. It is now possible to obtain detailed statistical characterisation of turbulence from field observations. By ``statistical,'' we ...

Freshwater Flux and Spatiotemporal Simulated Runoff Variability into Ilulissat Icefjord, West Greenland, Linked to Salinity and Temperature Observations near Tidewater Glacier Margins Obtained Using Instrumented Ringed Seals

Konrad Steffen

The distribution of terrestrial surface runoff to Ilulissat Icefjord, west Greenland, is simulated for the period 2009-13 to better emphasize the spatiotemporal variability in freshwater flux and the link between runoff spikes and observed hydrographic con ...

Current variability in a wide and open lacustrine embayment in Lake Geneva (Switzerland)

David Andrew Barry, Alfred Johny Wüest, Ulrich Lemmin, Roham Bakhtyar, Amir Mehdi Razmi, Nicolas Le Dantec

Field measurements and numerical simulations were used to determine the effects of dominant meteorological conditions on the hydrodynamics of a wide (aspect ratio ~2), relatively deep (seasonally stratified) and open lake embayment (Vidy Bay, Lake Geneva). ...

A New Sensor Platform for Investigating Turbulence in Stratified Coastal Environments

Ulrich Lemmin, Damien Bouffard

Characterizing and quantifying vertical exchange processes is essential for understanding physical and biological dynamics in stratified lakes and oceans. Unfortunately, the role of mixing is still poorly understood because of the challenges of conducting ...
