Differential Heating Drives Downslope Flows that Accelerate Mixed-LayerWarming in Ice-Covered Waters

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Kraig Bates Winters

In ice-covered lakes, penetrative radiation warms fluid beneath a diffusive boundary layer, thereby increasing its density and providing energy for convection in a diurnally active, deepening mixed layer. Shallow regions are differentially heated to warmer ...

The Latitudinal Variability of Oceanic Rainfall Properties and Its Implication for Satellite Retrievals: 1. Drop Size Distribution Properties

Jussi Sakari Leinonen

In this study, we analyze an in situ shipboard global ocean drop size distribution (DSD) 8-year database to understand the underpinning microphysical reasons for discrepancies between satellite oceanic rainfall products at high latitudes reported in the li ...

Large-Eddy Simulations of the Steady Wintertime Antarctic Boundary Layer

Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

Observations of two typical contrasting weakly stable and very stable boundary layers from the winter at Dome C station, Antarctica, are used as a benchmark for two centimetre-scale-resolution large-eddy simulations. By taking the Antarctic winter, the eff ...

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 ...

New particle formation in the southern Aegean Sea during the Etesians: Importance for CCN production and cloud droplet number

Athanasios Nenes

This study examines how new particle formation (NPF) in the eastern Mediterranean in summer affects CCN (cloud condensation nuclei) concentrations and cloud droplet formation. For this, the concentration and size distribution of submicron aerosol particles ...

Hail resistance of composite-based glass-free lightweight modules for building integrated photovoltaics applications

Ana Cristina Oliveira Martins

In this work, we manufacture lightweight (5 kg/m2) photovoltaic (PV) mini-modules for building integration replacing conventional glass sheets by a composite sandwich backsheet and a polymeric frontsheet. Our test devices are subjected to hail tests accor ...

Cyclone: Unified Stream and Batch Processing

Ana Claudia Sima, Thomas Locher, Matus Harvan

Due to the rising demand for large-scale data processing, there is a growing interest in both batch processing, where large volumes of data are processed offline, and stream processing, where large quantities of streaming data are processed online. The dic ...
