Representation of Horizontal Transport Processes in Snowmelt Modeling by Applying a Footprint Approach

Michael Lehning, Sebastian Schlögl, Charles Fierz

The energy balance of an alpine snow cover significantly changes once the snow cover gets patchy. The local advection of warm air causes above-average snow ablation rates at the upwind edge of the snow patch. As lateral transport processes are typically no ...

ESM-SnowMIP: assessing snow models and quantifying snow-related climate feedbacks

Nander Wever, Huanyuan Shan, Charles Fierz, Tao Wang, Xing Fang

This paper describes ESM-SnowMIP, an international coordinated modelling effort to evaluate current snow schemes, including snow schemes that are included in Earth system models, in a wide variety of settings against local and global observations. The proj ...

Investigation of a wind-packing event in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Christian Gabriel Sommer, Charles Fierz

Surface snow in polar and mountainous regions is often mobile and this mobility influences surface mass balance and isotopic composition before final deposition, which is poorly understood thus far. In December 2016 and January 2017, during a field campaig ...
