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 ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2018Characterizing the spatial snow depth distribution in mountainous terrain
Michael Lehning, Henning Löwe, Tobias Jonas, Thomas Grünewald
Spatial snow depth information is an essential component for many applications such as the computation of snow melt rates in hydrologic applications or the energy balance in meteorological or climate models. Due to computational constraints, small-scale di ...
2013A Systems-Based Generic Decision Support System Application to Urban Water Management
In the field of environmental management, inefficient piecemeal sectorial approaches are still widespread, particularly in water resources management, where concerns and decisions are usually split among a set of rather weakly linked stakeholders. Planning ...
EPFL2010Statistical analysis of drainage density from digital terrain data
Drainage density (D-d), defined as the total length of channels per unit area, is a fundamental property of natural terrain that reflects local climate, relief, geology, and other factors. Accurate measurement of D-d is important for numerous geomorphic an ...
