Attenuation of wind-induced pressure perturbations in alpine snow

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins

Windpumping has been identified as a process that could potentially enhance sublimation of surface snow at high forcing frequency and spawn air movement deeper in firn at lower frequencies. We performed an experiment to examine the relationship between hig ...

Buoyant Turbulent Kinetic Energy Production in Steep-Slope Katabatic Flow

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Eric Richard Pardyjak

We develop several critical concepts that should be considered when interpreting, modelling and designing future experiments for flows over sloping terrain. Vertical buoyancy fluxes in katabatic flows can be positive and a source of turbulent kinetic energ ...

Low-cost sensors for distributed surface-atmosphere heat exchange monitoring – a novel component of citizen observatories

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Steven Vincent Weijs, Chad Higgins, Tristan Jonas Brauchli

Sensible heat flux is a component of the earth’s surface energy balance. It describes turbulent heat exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere and is of interest and importance for agriculture, urban heat budgets, and for understanding consequen ...
