Meridional and vertical variations of the water vapour isotopic composition in the marine boundary layer over the Atlantic and Southern Ocean

Julia Schmale, Sebastian Johannes Heinz-Josef Landwehr

Stable water isotopologues (SWIs) are useful tracers of moist diabatic processes in the atmospheric water cycle. They provide a framework to analyse moist processes on a range of timescales from large-scale moisture transport to cloud formation, precipitat ...

Tracking Lagrangian transport in Lake Geneva: A 3D numerical modeling investigation

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Andrea Cimatoribus

Lake Geneva, the largest freshwater lake in Western Europe, is subject to important environmental pressures from its densely populated shores and watershed. To maintain and improve water quality in this lake, as well as in other enclosed or semi‐enclosed b ...

High frequency wind time series measured at different heights from the ground (from 1.5 to 25.5 meters) in an urban area were investigated by using the variance of the coefficients of their wavelet transform. Two ranges of scales were identified, sensitive ...

In the cryosphere, the snow cover is the fastest changing component. Amongst other characteristics, the snow cover acts as a resource of water or has the ability to reflect the suns radiation and therefore significantly influence the climate on a global sc ...

Differential cooling and near-shore dynamics in a large lake (Lake Geneva)

Ulrich Lemmin, Rafael Sebastian Reiss

Density currents generated by differential cooling in lakes with shallow shore regions or side basins are associated with increased vertical mixing, deep water renewal and cross-shore transport of nutrients and other substances. Previous field experiments ...

Incoming Wind and Wake Measurements of a Single 2.5 MW Wind Turbine Using Two Nacelle-Mounted Wind LiDARs for Analytical Wake Model Validation

Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort, Fernando Carbajo Fuertes

The two main effects of a wind turbine wake on those within its region of influence are: first, the wind speed deficit results in a decrease in the power production and second, a more turbulent flow results in higher unsteady structural forces, potentially ...

Sublimation of drifting and blowing snow has been recognized as an important component of the surface mass budget of polar and alpine regions. The Thorpe and Mason (TM) model is the basis of all existing small and largescale estimates of drifting snow sub ...

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 ...
