Stability of an isolated pancake vortex in continuously stratified-rotating fluids
This paper investigates the stability of an axisymmetric pancake vortex with Gaussian angular velocity in radial and vertical directions in a continuously stratified-rotating fluid. The different instabilities are determined as a function of the Rossby num ...
2016Spectral shape metrics and structural collapse potential
This paper examines various parameters that provide a measure of spectral shape and studies how they relateto the potential of ground motion records to cause the collapse of a given structure. It is shown that whenmeasuring the ground motion intensity by t ...
Wiley-Blackwell2016Point rainfall statistics for ecohydrological analyses derived from satellite integrated rainfall measurements
Satellite rainfall measurements, nowadays commonly available, provide valuable information about the spatial structure of rainfall. In areas with low-density rain gage networks, or where these networks are nonexistent, satellite rainfall measurements can a ...
Amer Geophysical Union2015Consequences of artificial deepwater ventilation in the Bornholm Basin for oxygen conditions, cod reproduction and benthic biomass – a model study
We develop and use a circulation model to estimate hydrographical and ecological changes in the isolated basin water of the Bornholm Basin. By pumping well-oxygenated so-called winter water to the greatest depth, where it is forced to mix with the resident ...
Copernicus Gesellschaft Mbh2015Correction of raindrop size distributions measured by Parsivel disdrometers, using a two-dimensional video disdrometer as a reference
Alexis Berne, Timothy Hugh Raupach
The raindrop size distribution (DSD) quantifies the microstructure of rainfall and is critical to studying precipitation processes. We present a method to improve the accuracy of DSD measurements from Parsivel (particle size and velocity) disdrometers, usi ...
European Geosciences Union2015Detecting Vortex Burst on a Rotating Low-Aspect Ratio Plate
This work experimentally examines the phenomenon of leading-edge vortex (LEV) burst in a low aspect ratio rotating plate. Through stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) about chrodwise planes, the evolutionary track of the vortex is detailed from i ...
2015Evaluating snow models with varying process representations for hydrological applications
Much effort has been invested in developing snow models over several decades, resulting in a wide variety of empirical and physically based snow models. For the most part, these models are built on similar principles. The greatest differences are found in ...
American Geophysical Union2015A synthesis of cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) measurements within the EUCAARI network
Cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) measurements performed at 14 locations around the world within the European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality interactions (EUCAARI) framework have been analysed and discussed with respect ...
Copernicus GmbH2015Wind variability and sheltering effects on measurements and modeling of air-water exchange for a small lake
Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort
Lakes with a surface area of less than 10 km^2 account for over 50% of the global cumulative lake surface water area, and make up more than 99% of the total number of global lakes, ponds, and wetlands. Within the boreal regions as well as some temperate an ...
2014Orographic effects on snow deposition patterns in mountainous terrain
Michael Lehning, Alexis Berne, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, Danny Eddy Scipion Castillo
Orographic lifting of air masses and other topographically modified flows induce cloud and precipitation formation at larger scales and preferential deposition of precipitation at smaller scales. In this study, we examine orographic effects on small-scale ...
