The vertical structure of precipitation at two stations in East Antarctica derived from micro rain radars

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli

Precipitation over Antarctica is the main term in the surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet, which is crucial for the future evolution of the sea level worldwide. Precipitation, however, remains poorly documented and understood mainly because of ...

The Importance of Near-Surface Winter Precipitation Processes in Complex Alpine Terrain

Michael Lehning, Franziska Gerber

In this study, near-surface snow and graupel dynamics from formation to deposition are analyzed using WRF in a large-eddy configuration. The results reveal that a horizontal grid spacing of ≤50 m is required to resolve local orographic precipitation enhanc ...

The effect of secondary ice production parameterization on the simulation of a cold frontal rainband

Athanasios Nenes

Secondary ice production via processes like rime splintering, frozen droplet shattering, and breakup upon ice hydrometeor collision have been proposed to explain discrepancies between in-cloud ice crystal and ice-nucleating particle numbers. To understand ...

Effects of regional and local atmospheric dynamics on the aerosol and CCN load over Athens

Athanasios Nenes

Aerosol and cloud condensate nuclei (CCN) measurements in the area of Athens during HyGRA-CD campaign (May–June 2014) identified a significant diversity in particle properties. In this study we select two distinct cases in terms of meteorology and air mass ...

Swiss Rainfall Mass Curves and their Influence on Extreme Flood Simulation

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Bettina Schaefli, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue

Extreme flood estimates for dam safety are routinely obtained from hydrologic simulations driven by selected design storms. The temporal structure of such design storms can be obtained from Rainfall Mass Curves (RMCs), which are adimensionalized curves of ...

A polarimetric radar operator to evaluate precipitation from the COSMO atmospheric model

Daniel Wolfensberger

Weather radars provide real-time measurements of precipitation at a high temporal and spatial resolution and over a large domain. A drawback, however, it that these measurements are indirect and require careful interpretation to yield relevant information ...

Spatial variability in snow precipitation and accumulation in COSMO–WRF simulations and radar estimations over complex terrain

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Alexis Berne, Franziska Gerber, Nikola Besic, Marco Gabella, Urs Martin Germann

Snow distribution in complex alpine terrain and its evolution in the future climate is important in a variety of applications including hydropower, avalanche forecasting and freshwater resources. However, it is still challenging to quantitatively forecast ...

Correction of CCI cloud data over the Swiss Alps using ground-based radiation measurements

Alexis Berne, Fanny Alexia Jeanneret

The validation of long-term cloud data sets retrieved from satellites is challenging due to their worldwide coverage going back as far as the 1980s. A trustworthy reference cannot be found easily at every location and every time. Mountainous regions presen ...

Invariance of the Double-Moment Normalized Raindrop Size Distribution through 3D Spatial Displacement in Stratiform Rain

Alexis Berne, Timothy Hugh Raupach

Double-moment normalization of the drop size distribution (DSD) summarizes the DSD in a compact way, using two of its statistical moments and a "generic'' double-moment normalized DSD function. Results are presented of an investigation into the invariance ...

Multifractal evaluation of simulated precipitation intensities from the COSMO NWP model

Alexis Berne, Daniel Wolfensberger

The framework of universal multifractals (UM) characterizes the spatio-temporal variability in geophysical data over a wide range of scales with only a limited number of scale-invariant parameters. This work aims to clarify the link between multifractals ( ...
