Snowfall microphysics: a dual-frequency and Doppler spectral radar perspective

Snowfall is an essential component of the hydrological cycle, as it is involved in most precipitation on Earth, either directly as snow falling to the ground or indirectly as rain melted from snow. At the same time, the ice phase of clouds and precipitatio ...

Dual-frequency spectral radar retrieval of snowfall microphysics: a physics-driven deep-learning approach

Alexis Berne, Anne-Claire Marie Billault--Roux, Gionata Ghiggi

The use of meteorological radars to study snowfall microphysical properties and processes is well established, in particular via a few distinct techniques: the use of radar polarimetry, of multi-frequency radar measurements, and of the radar Doppler spectr ...

Accurate Measurement of Dynamic ON-Resistance in GaN Transistors at Steady-State

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Hongkeng Zhu

Accurate characterization of the dynamic ON-resistance (RON) degradation is important to predict conduction losses for gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs). However, even for the same device, many inconsistent results of dynamic R ...

Radar processing techniques to study summer snowfall in the Sør Rondane Mountains, Antarctica

Alfonso Ferrone

Snowfall is one of the main positive contributors to the surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet. There are several techniques to monitor solid precipitation on the continent. Among them, meteorological radars provide the means to characterize the ...

The role of population receptive field size and recurrent processing in learning to “de-crowd”

Michael Herzog, Bogdan Draganski, Ayberk Ozkirli, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska

In crowding, the perception of a target is impeded by surrounding clutter. While traditional models are feedforward and local, there is increasing behavioral and neural evidence for a critical role of recurrent processing across the visual hierarchy in cro ...

A Characterisation of Alpine Mesocyclone Occurrence

Alexis Berne, Marco Gabella, Monika Feldmann, Urs Martin Germann

This work presents a characterisation of mesocyclone occurrence and frequency in the Alpine region, as observed from the Swiss operational radar network; 5 years of radar data are processed with a thunderstorm detection and tracking algorithm and subsequen ...

Leveraging meteorological radars to investigate the influence of atmospheric dynamics on snowfall microphysics

Josué Etienne Gehring

Precipitation is the result of a chain of meteorological processes ranging from the large- to the micro-scale. While the transport of moisture and lifting mechanisms leading to cloud formation are mostly governed by dynamical processes, the formation and g ...

The high-power helicon program at DIII-D: gearing up for first experiments

Alessandro Marinoni

Helicon current drive (CD), also called fast wave CD in the lower hybrid range of frequencies, has long been regarded as a promising CD tool for reactor grade plasmas. A newly installed MW-level system at DIII-D will be the first test of this technology in ...

Resonant Supercontinuum Generation in Normal and Anomalous Dispersion

Tobias Kippenberg, Tobias Herr, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Miles Henry Anderson

We demonstrate broadband resonant supercontinuum generation based on stable bright soliton formation in Si3N4 microresonators with either anomalous or normal dispersion. The frequency combs have an electronically detectable repetition rate of 28 GHz, and s ...

Microphysics and dynamics of snowfall associated with a warm conveyor belt over Korea

Alexis Berne, Josué Etienne Gehring, Nikola Besic, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon, Nicolas Jean François Jullien

On 28 February 2018, 57mm of precipitation associated with a warm conveyor belt (WCB) fell within 21 h over South Korea. To investigate how the large-scale circulation influenced the microphysics of this intense precipitation event, we used radar measureme ...
