Chloride circulation in a lowland catchment and the formulation of transport by travel time distributions
Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter
Travel times are fundamental catchment descriptors that blend key information about storage, geochemistry, flow pathways and sources of water into a coherent mathematical framework. Here we analyze travel time distributions (TTDs) (and related attributes) ...
Amer Geophysical Union2013Characterizing 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 ...
2013Seasonal small-scale spatial variability in alpine snowfall and snow accumulation
Michael Lehning, Alexis Berne, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, Danny Eddy Scipion Castillo
[1] In mountainous regions, snow accumulation on the ground is crucial for mountain hydrology and water resources. The present study investigates the link between the spatial variability in snowfall and in snow accumulation in the Swiss Alps. A mobile pola ...
American Geophysical Union2013Quality control of rain gauge measurements using telecommunication microwave links
Alexis Berne, Blandine Bianchi
Accurate rain rate measurements are essential for many hydrological applications. Although rain gauge remains the reference instrument for the measurement of rain rate, the strong spatial and temporal variability of rainfall makes it difficult to spot faul ...
Elsevier Science Bv2013Ensemble projections of wildfire activity and carbonaceous aerosol concentrations over the western United States in the mid-21st century
We estimate future wildfire activity over the western United States during the mid-21st century (2046-2065), based on results from 15 climate models following the A1B scenario. We develop fire prediction models by regressing meteorological variables from t ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2013Modelling Drifting Snow Sublimation and Investigating Small-Scale Snow Transport
Christine Dorothea Groot Zwaaftink
Drifting snow has a large influence on the mountain snow cover and the overlying atmospheric boundary layer. Consequently, drifting snow also affects avalanches, snow hydrology, vegetation and climate. Considerable effort is devoted to understanding the pr ...
EPFL2013Coupled semi-analytical solution for CO2 injection-induced surface uplift and caprock deflection
This study focuses on a specific problem related to the surface uplift induced by the injection of CO2 at depth. The adopted methodology includes the development of a mathematical model that incorporates the deformable behaviour of storage media and the fl ...
2013Panta Rhei-Everything Flows: Change in hydrology and society-The IAHS Scientific Decade 2013-2022
Bettina Schaefli, Eva Jakab Toth, Harshit Gupta
The new Scientific Decade 2013-2022 of IAHS, entitled Panta RheiEverything Flows, is dedicated to research activities on change in hydrology and society. The purpose of Panta Rhei is to reach an improved interpretation of the processes governing the water ...
Taylor & Francis Ltd2013Improving stream flow discharge modelling during snow melt
Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Charles Fierz
The importance of the snow cover for the hydrological cycle is well known but the understanding is still limited. For example, the effect of rain-on-snow on melt water runoff and the coupling between spring snow melt and stream flow discharge are difficult ...
2013Hydrology as a driver of biodiversity: Controls on carrying capacity, niche formation, and dispersal
A synthesis is presented highlighting the importance of hydrologic variables and dynamics to biodiversity patterns. The focus of this paper is the key hydrologic controls crucial towards quantifying the impacts of climate changes on the distribution of spe ...
