Analyzing the effects of snow-atmosphere interactions on snow surface dynamics based on automated 3D laser scanning data

The snow surface morphology is shaped throughout a winter season by atmospheric conditions, like precipitation, wind, solar irradiance, air temperature or relative humidity. Changes in morphology affect the snow surface roughness which influences the turbu ...

Radar and ground-level measurements of precipitation collected by the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne during the International Collaborative Experiments for PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic winter games

Alexis Berne, Josué Etienne Gehring, Alfonso Ferrone, Nikola Besic

This article describes a 4-month dataset of precipitation and cloud measurements collected during the International Collaborative Experiments for PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic winter games (ICE-POP 2018). This paper aims to describe the data coll ...

Evidence of Strong Flux Underestimation by Bulk Parametrizations During Drifting and Blowing Snow

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Daniela Brito Melo, Francesco Comola, Armin Sigmund, Koichi Nishimura

The influence of drifting and blowing snow on surface mass and energy exchange is difficult to quantify due to limitations in both measurements and models, but is still potentially very important over large areas with seasonal or perennial snow cover. We p ...

Simulating airborne 'snow walls' of Antarctica using CRYOWRF v1.0

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Franziska Gerber

When a well-developed, high velocity katabatic flow draining down the ice sheet of Antarctica reaches the coast, it experiences an abrupt and rapid transition due to change in slope resulting in formation of a hydraulic jump. A remarkable manifestation of ...

Unsupervised classification of snowflake images using a generative adversarial network and K-medoids classification

Alexis Berne, Jussi Sakari Leinonen

The increasing availability of sensors imaging cloud and precipitation particles, like the Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera (MASC), has resulted in datasets comprising millions of images of falling snowflakes. Automated classification is required for effective ...

Variations in Snow Crystal Riming and ZDR: A Case Analysis

Alexis Berne, Christophe Praz

A case study in terms of variations in differential reflectivity Z(DR) observed at X band and snow crystal riming is presented for a light-snow event that occurred near Greeley, Colorado, on 26-27 November 2015. In the early portion of the event, Z(DR) val ...

Is the Thorpe and Mason model valid for drifting and blowing snow?

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Francesco Comola

Sublimation of drifting and blowing snow has been recognized as an important component of the surface mass budget of polar and alpine regions. The Thorpe and Mason (TM) model is the basis of all existing small and largescale estimates of drifting snow sub ...

Initiation of secondary ice production in clouds

Athanasios Nenes

Disparities between the measured concentrations of ice-nucleating particles (INPs) and in-cloud ice crystal number concentrations (ICNCs) have led to the hypothesis that mechanisms other than primary nucleation form ice in the atmosphere. Here, we model th ...

Effect of laser rescanning on the grain microstructure of a selective laser melted Al-Mg-Zr alloy

Christian Leinenbach

The microstructures of alloys created via Additive Manufacturing (AM) can vary substantially from those present in cast or wrought products, due to the very rapid solidification associated with AM. While numerous studies have investigated the process-micro ...
