Good enough: Intermediate complexity atmospheric models improve the representation of processes affecting seasonal snow
Snow plays a crucial role in processes regulating ecosystems, the climate, and human development. Mountain snowpack in particular has great relevance for downstream communities. Knowledge about the distribution and properties of the snowpack thus help in p ...
EPFL2024Assessing the simulation of snowfall at Dumont d'Urville, Antarctica, during the YOPP-SH special observing campaign
Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon
The performance of a set of atmospheric models and meteorological reanalyses in the representation of precipitation days in Antarctica is assessed using ground-based observations such as a precipitation gauge and a Micro Rain Radar during the Year Of Polar ...
WILEY2023Flow and Snow in Complex Terrain: across-scale modelling for a correct surface mass balance
Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Franziska Gerber, Daniela Brito Melo, Nander Wever, Armin Sigmund, David Nicholas Wagner
Preferential deposition of snow precipitation, snow transport and snow sublimation modify the mass which gets incorporated into or removed from the seasonal or perennial snow cover. These processes happen at very small scales from snow grain size to larger ...
2023An empirical model to calculate snow depth from daily snow water equivalent: SWE2HS 1.0
Many methods exist to model snow densification in order to calculate the depth of a single snow layer or the depth of the total snow cover from its mass. Most of these densification models need to be tightly integrated with an accumulation and melt model a ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2023The Effect of Wind on the Surface Snow Microstructure – Experimental Insights
Sonja Wahl, Benjamin Andreas Walter
Snow precipitation frequently occurs under moderate to strong wind conditions, resulting in drifting and blowing snow. Processes like particle fragmentation and airborne metamorphism during snow transport result in microstructural modifications of the ulti ...
