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 ...

Multidecadal sediment balance modelling of a cascade of alpine reservoirs and perspectives based on climate warming

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

This paper presents a comprehensive methodology to model and determine the annual sediment balance of a complex system of interconnected reservoirs, based on the detailed interpretation of a multi-decadal data series of reservoir management and modelling o ...

LMA Observation of Upward Flashes at Santis Tower: Preliminary Results

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi

Lightning striking tall towers is mainly of the upward lightning type, which is characterized by the absence of a first return stroke and the presence of an initial continuous current (ICC) with or without superimposed pulses. The Santis Tower is 124 m tal ...

Influence of slope-scale snowmelt on catchment response simulated with the Alpine3D model

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Ernesto Trujillo Gomez, Tristan Jonas Brauchli

Snow and hydrological modeling in alpine environments remains challenging because of the complexity of the processes affecting the mass and energy balance. This study examines the influence of snowmelt on the hydrological response of a high-alpine catchmen ...

How much can we save? Impact of different emission scenarios on future snow cover in the Alps

Michael Lehning, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Sebastian Schlögl

This study focuses on an assessment of the future snow depth for two larger Alpine catchments. Automatic weather station data from two diverse regions in the Swiss Alps have been used as input for the Alpine3D surface process model to compute the snow cove ...

Location Accuracy Evaluation of ToA-Based Lightning Location Systems Over Mountainous Terrain

Marcos Rubinstein, Wolfgang Schulz, Dongshuai Li

In this paper, we analyze the location error of time of arrival (ToA)-based lightning location systems (LLSs) caused by propagation effects over mountainous terrain around the Santis tower located in the Swiss Alps. The study is based on a full-wave three- ...

Solid hydrometeor classification and riming degree estimation from pictures collected with a Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera

Alexis Berne, Christophe Praz

A new method to automatically classify solid hydrometeors based on Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera (MASC) images is presented. For each individual image, the method relies on the calculation of a set of geometric and texture-based descriptors to simultaneousl ...

Morpho-dynamics of mountain streams: from laboratory experiments to field observations.

Christophe Ancey, Stuart Nicholas Lane, François Mettra

Due to the complexity of mountain stream evolution and its causes, it is judicious to conduct flume experiments to better understand the morpho-dynamics of steep river channels. A series of long-term experiments under steady conditions revealed the high in ...
