Timescales of the Climate Record in the South Polar Ice Cap of Mars

The South Polar Layered Deposits (SPLD) are the largest water ice reservoirs on Mars. Their accumulation is believed to result from climate oscillations that drive the movement of ice and dust on the surface. The High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment ...

Variation of Ice Nucleating Particles in the European Arctic Over the Last Centuries

Julia Schmale, Arne Christian Vogel

The historical development of ice nucleating particle concentrations (NINP) is still unknown. Here, we present for the first time NINP from the past 500 years at two Arctic sites derived from ice core samples. The samples originate from the EUROCORE ice co ...

GRUN: an observation-based global gridded runoff dataset from 1902 to 2014

Gionata Ghiggi, Vincent Humphrey

Freshwater resources are of high societal relevance, and understanding their past variability is vital to water management in the context of ongoing climate change. This study introduces a global gridded monthly reconstruction of runoff covering the period ...

Spatial variability of multi-annual seasonal surface heat flux patterns of Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Andrea Cimatoribus, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

The dynamics of the spatiotemporal surface heat flux (SurHF) of Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France) was estimated for a 7-y period. Data sources included hourly maps of over-the-lake assimilated meteorological data from a numerical weather model and Lake Surf ...

Effect of meso-scale surface water temperature heterogeneity on surface cooling estimates of a large lake: Airborne remote sensing results from Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

Satellite thermal images are frequently used in the study of surface heat exchange dynamics over lakes. Such investigations can depict large-scale thermal patterns with a resolution of O(1 km2), but not meso- or small-scale processes, requiring O(1 m) and ...

Large-scale and meso-scale surface heat flux patterns of Lake Geneva

Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

Diverse studies have confirmed the adverse impact of global climate change in lakes. In order to establish effective water quality management policies, it is essential to understand how the heat exchange between the atmosphere and the lake evolves under th ...

Characterisation of the melting layer variability in an Alpine valley based on polarimetric X-band radar scans

Alexis Berne, Marco Gabella, Urs Martin Germann, Floortje Elisabeth Maria Van den Heuvel

The melting layer designates the transition region from solid to liquid precipitation, and is a typical feature of the vertical structure of stratiform precipitation. As it is characterised by a well-known signature in polarimetric radar variables, it can ...

Statistical link between external climate forcings and modes of ocean variability

Paolo Perona

In this study we investigate statistical link between external climate forcings and modes of ocean variability on inter-annual (3-year) to centennial (100-year) timescales using de-trended semi-partial-cross-correlation analysis technique. To investigate t ...

Spruce tree-ring proxy signals during cold and warm periods

The strength and temporal rigidity of climate signals are important characteristics of proxy data used to reconstruct climate variability over pre-instrumental periods. Here, we assess the performance of different tree-ring proxies, including ring width, m ...

Greenland precipitation trends in a long-term instrumental climate context (1890-2012): evaluation of coastal and ice core records

Konrad Steffen

Here, we present an analysis of monthly, seasonal, and annual long-term precipitation time-series compiled from coastal meteorological stations in Greenland and Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) ice cores (including three new ice core records from ACT11D, Tunu201 ...
