Thermal Conductivity of Snow on Arctic Sea Ice

Henning Löwe, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner

Snow significantly impacts the seasonal growth of Arctic sea ice due to its thermally insulating properties. Various measurements and parametrizations of thermal properties exist, but an assessment of the entire seasonal evolution of thermal conductivity a ...

Spatiotemporal modelling of extreme wildfires and severe thunderstorm environments

Jonathan Koh Boon Han

Environmental extreme events can have devastating impacts on society when they interact with vulnerable human and natural systems. Such events can result from natural causes, like phenomena related to the El Ni~no-Southern Oscillation or decadal/multi-dec ...

Exploring the link between austral stratospheric polar vortex anomalies and surface climate in chemistry-climate models

Nora Bergner

Extreme events in the stratospheric polar vortex can lead to changes in the tropospheric circulation and impact the surface climate on a wide range of timescales. The austral stratospheric vortex shows its largest variability in spring, and a weakened pola ...

Climatology of atmospheric boundary layer height over Switzerland

Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte

Determining the height of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is of crucial importance as it is a key parameter in air-quality modelling and weather forecasting. Continuous remote sensing measurements allow to estimate this parameter based on temperature, h ...

Multi-day mobility motifs: method and applications

Marc-Edouard Baptiste Grégoire Schultheiss, Janody Pougala, Marija Kukic

The sustainable turn in urban territories is manifold and must not rely solely on technologies to address energy efficiency. This research proposes a set of metrics as a preliminary work to further study day-to-day variability in activity-travel behaviors. ...

Snowfall and snow accumulation processes during the MOSAiC winter and spring season

Michael Lehning, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner, Markus Frey, Marc Oggier

Data from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition allowed us to investigate the temporal dynamics of snowfall, snow accumulation, and erosion in great detail for almost the whole accumulation season (N ...

Snapshots of mean ocean temperature over the last 700,000 yr using noble gases in the EPICA Dome C ice core

Adrien Michel

Together with the latent heat stored in glacial ice sheets the ocean heat uptake carries the lion’s share of glacial/interglacial changes in the planetary heat content but little direct information on the global mean ocean temperature (MOT) is available to ...

The Importance of Systematic Spatial Variability in the Surface Heat Flux of a Large Lake: A Multiannual Analysis for Lake Geneva

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

The spatiotemporal surface heat flux (SurHF) distribution over Lake Geneva, the largest lake in Western Europe, was estimated for a 7‐year period (2008–2014). Data sources included hourly maps of over‐the‐lake assimilated meteorological data from a validat ...

Dimensionality Reduction and Network Inference for Climate Data Using delta-MAPS: Application to the CESM Large Ensemble Sea Surface Temperature

Athanasios Nenes

A framework for analyzing and benchmarking climate model outputs is built upon delta-MAPS, a recently developed complex network analysis method. The framework allows for the possibility of highlighting quantifiable topological differences across data sets, ...

Surface Water Temperature Heterogeneity at Subpixel Satellite Scales and Its Effect on the Surface Cooling Estimates of a Large Lake: Airborne Remote Sensing Results From Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

The dynamics of spatial heterogeneity of lake surface water temperature (LSWT) at subpixel satellite scale O(1 m) and its effect on the surface cooling estimation at typical satellite pixel areas O(1 km2) were investigated using an airborne platform. The m ...
