On the importance of the humidity flux for the surface mass balance in the accumulation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet
It is highly uncertain how the humidity flux between the snow surface and the atmosphere contributes to the surface mass balance (SMB) of the interior Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). Due to sparse observations, evaluations of the simulated humidity flux are li ...
Gottingen2024Equal abundance of summertime natural and wintertime anthropogenic Arctic organic aerosols
Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad, Houssni Lamkaddam, Pragati Rai
Aerosols play an important yet uncertain role in modulating the radiation balance of the sensitive Arctic atmosphere. Organic aerosol is one of the most abundant, yet least understood, fractions of the Arctic aerosol mass. Here we use data from eight obser ...
2022Assimilation of snow depth data from Sentinel-1 to improve the hydrological model of the Borgne catchment (VS)
Since 2013, Crealp (Centre de Recherche sur l’Environnement Alpin) is operating a realtime flood forecasting system for the upper Rhone river basin. The scarcity of meteorological input data at high elevation leads to model uncertainties. In this project, ...
2021Radar-rain gauge merging and discharge data assimilation for flood forecasting in Alpine catchments
Floods are responsible for one third of the economic losses induced by natural hazards throughout the world. To better protect the population and infrastructures, flood forecasting systems make us of weather forecasts to foresee floods several days in adva ...
EPFL2019Modelling Small-Scale Drifting Snow with a Lagrangian Stochastic Model Based on Large-Eddy Simulations
Michael Lehning, Marc Parlange, Marc Diebold, Jan Overney, Gian-Duri Lieberherr
Observations of drifting snow on small scales have shown that, in spite of nearly steady winds, the snow mass flux can strongly fluctuate in time and space. Most drifting snow models, however, are not able to describe drifting snow accurately over short ti ...
