Data and scripts for "Unraveling secondary ice production in winter orographic clouds through a synergy of in-situ observations, remote sensing and modeling"
Athanasios Nenes, Alexis Berne, Satoshi Takahama, Georgia Sotiropoulou, Paraskevi Georgakaki, Romanos Foskinis, Kunfeng Gao, Anne-Claire Marie Billault--Roux
This repository contains field observations and processed data from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations and the Cloud Resolving Model Radar Simulator (CR-SIM), alongside scripts designed to reproduce the figures presented in the pa ...
Zenodo2024Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Flow and Hydrochemistry in Drainage Networks
Despite their high ecological value, non-perennial streams have received less attention than their perennial counterparts. This doctoral thesis addresses this disparity by advancing knowledge on the dynamics of the drainage density and hydrologic processes ...
EPFL2024On the importance of the humidity flux for the surface mass balance in the accumulation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet
It is highly uncertain how the humidity flux between the snow surface and the atmosphere contributes to the surface mass balance (SMB) of the interior Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). Due to sparse observations, evaluations of the simulated humidity flux are li ...
Gottingen2024Simulations of primary and secondary ice production during an Arctic mixed-phase cloud case from the Ny-Ålesund Aerosol Cloud Experiment (NASCENT) campaign
Georgia Sotiropoulou, Paraskevi Georgakaki
The representation of Arctic clouds and their phase distributions, i.e., the amount of ice and supercooled water, influences predictions of future Arctic warming. Therefore, it is essential that cloud phase is correctly captured by models in order to accur ...
Copernicus Gesellschaft Mbh2024Highly Hygroscopic Aerosols Facilitate Summer and Early‐Autumn Cloud Formation at Extremely Low Concentrations Over the Central Arctic Ocean
Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini
Arctic clouds are sensitive to atmospheric particles since these are sometimes in such low concentrations that clouds cannot always form under supersaturated water vapor conditions. This is especially true in the late summer, when aerosol concentrations ar ...
2024Characteristics and sources of fluorescent aerosols in the central Arctic Ocean
Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Nora Bergner, Oliver Müller, Alireza Moallemi, Hélène Paule Angot, Markus Frey, Margarida Teles Nogueira Rolo
The Arctic is sensitive to cloud radiative forcing. Due to the limited number of aerosols present throughout much of the year, cloud formation is susceptible to the presence of cloud condensation nuclei and ice nucleating particles (INPs). Primary biologic ...
2024Atmospheric isoprene measurements reveal larger-than-expected Southern Ocean emissions
Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini
Isoprene is a key trace component of the atmosphere emitted by vegetation and other organisms. It is highly reactive and can impact atmospheric composition and climate by affecting the greenhouse gases ozone and methane and secondary organic aerosol format ...
2024Turbulence in the Strongly Heterogeneous Near-Surface Boundary Layer over Patchy Snow
Michael Lehning, Dylan Stewart Reynolds, Michael Haugeneder
The near-surface boundary layer above patchy snow cover in mountainous terrain is characterized by a highly complex interplay of various flows on multiple scales. In this study, we present data from a comprehensive field campaign that cover a period of 21 ...
2024Climate Change Contributions to Increasing Compound Flooding Risk in New York City
Efforts to meaningfully quantify the changes in coastal compound surge- and rainfall -driven flooding hazard associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) and extratropical cyclones (ETCs) in a warming climate have increased in recent years. Despite substantial ...
Boston2024Nowcasting of High-Intensity Rainfall for Urban Applications in the Netherlands
Radar rainfall nowcasting has mostly been applied to relatively large (often rural) domains (e.g., river basins), although rainfall nowcasting in small urban areas is expected to be more challenging. Here, we selected 80 events with high rainfall intensiti ...
