Climate Change Contributions to Increasing Compound Flooding Risk in New York City

Efforts to meaningfully quantify the changes in coastal compound surge- and rainfall -driven flooding hazard associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) and extratropical cyclones (ETCs) in a warming climate have increased in recent years. Despite substantial ...

Contribution of standardized indexes to understand groundwater level fluctuations in response to meteorological conditions in cold and humid climates

Emmanuel Qays Dubois

Understanding the fluctuations in groundwater levels in response to meteorological conditions is challenging, especially given the slow transit time associated with groundwater reservoirs and the short duration of time series for groundwater levels. Nevert ...

Enhanced intensification of hourly rainfall extremes due to urban warming in Phoenix, Arizona

Gabriele Manoli

The main cause of flash and pluvial floods in cities is short-duration extreme rainfall events. The built environment can either intensify or weaken extreme rainfall intensity depending on the urban fabric that controls the local environmental and climatic ...

Unexpectedly minor nitrous oxide emissions from fluvial networks draining permafrost catchments of the East Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Tom Ian Battin, Sibo Zhang

Streams and rivers emit substantial amounts of nitrous oxide (N2O) and are therefore an essential component of global nitrogen (N) cycle. Permafrost soils store a large reservoir of dormant N that, upon thawing, can enter fluvial networks and partly degrad ...

Spatial areas of genotype probability: Predicting the spatial distribution of adaptive genetic variants under future climatic conditions

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Estelle Rochat

In a context of rapid global change, one of the key components for the survival of species is their genetic evolutionary potential for adaptation. Many methods have been developed to identify genetic variants underpinning adaptation to climate, but few too ...

Mixed-Phase Clouds and Precipitation in Southern Ocean Cyclones and Cloud Systems Observed Poleward of 64 degrees S by Ship-Based Cloud Radar and Lidar

Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

Mixed-phase clouds (MPCs), composed of both liquid and ice, are prevalent in Southern Ocean cyclones. A characterization of these clouds on fine vertical scales is required in order to understand the microphysical processes within these clouds, and for mod ...

Dataset for: Climate change scenarios at hourly time-step over Switzerland from an enhanced temporal downscaling approach

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Adrien Michel

In fall 2019, a new set of climate change scenarios has been released for Switzerland, the CH2018 dataset (www.climate-scenarios.ch). The data areprovided at daily resolution. We produced from the CH2018 dataset a new set of climate change scenarios tempor ...

On the role of local depth and latitude on surface warming heterogeneity in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Sebastiano Piccolroaz, Marco Toffolon, Elisa Calamita

Lake surface water temperature (LSWT) responds rapidly to changes in climatic variables. This response is heterogeneous in space and its spatial distribution is primarily influenced by lake bathymetry and latitude. Such heterogeneity is not captured by one ...

Insights into the dynamics of the deep hypolimnion of Lake Geneva as revealed by long-term temperature, oxygen, and current measurements

Ulrich Lemmin

In order to identify or shed light on dominant long-term processes of the deep hypolimnion of Lake Geneva (309 m depth), time series of temperature and horizontal currents and profiles of temperature and oxygen, taken for over a decade in the deepest part ...

The mechanical origin of snow avalanche dynamics and flow regime transitions

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Betty Sovilla, Xingyue Li

Snow avalanches cause fatalities and economic damage. Key to their mitigation is the understanding of snow avalanche dynamics. This study investigates the dynamic behavior of snow avalanches, using the material point method (MPM) and an elastoplastic const ...
