Snow Loss Into Leads in Arctic Sea Ice: Minimal in Typical Wintertime Conditions, but High During a Warm and Windy Snowfall Event

Julia Schmale, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, Markus Frey

The amount of snow on Arctic sea ice impacts the ice mass budget. Wind redistribution of snow into open water in leads is hypothesized to cause significant wintertime snow loss. However, there are no direct measurements of snow loss into Arctic leads. We m ...

Wind Transport of Snow Impacts Ka- and Ku-band Radar Signatures on Arctic Sea Ice

Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner

Wind transport alters the snow topography and microstructure on sea ice through snow redistribution controlled by deposition and erosion. The impact of these processes on radar signatures is poorly understood. Here, we examine the effects of snow redistrib ...

Modeling the small-scale deposition of snow onto structured Arctic sea ice during a MOSAiC storm using snowBedFoam 1.0

Michael Lehning, Océane Hames, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner, Mahdi Jafari

The remoteness and extreme conditions of the Arctic make it a very difficult environment to investigate. In these polar regions covered by sea ice, the wind is relatively strong due to the absence of obstructions and redistributes a large part of the depos ...

Snowfall and snow accumulation during the MOSAiC winter and spring seasons

Michael Lehning, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner, Markus Frey, Marc Oggier

Data from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition allowed us to investigate the temporal dynamics of snowfall, snow accumulation and erosion in great detail for almost the whole accumulation season (No ...

Modelling the small-scale deposition of snow onto structured Arctic sea ice during a MOSAiC storm using snowBedFoam 1.0

Michael Lehning, Océane Hames, Mahdi Jafari, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner

The remoteness and extreme conditions of the Arctic make it a very difficult environment to investigate. In these regions, the wind has a substantial effect and redistributes a large part of the snow, which complicates precipitation estimates. Moreover, th ...

Snowfall and snow accumulation processes during the MOSAiC winter and spring season

Michael Lehning, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner, Markus Frey, Marc Oggier

Data from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition allowed us to investigate the temporal dynamics of snowfall, snow accumulation, and erosion in great detail for almost the whole accumulation season (N ...

Carbon storage versus albedo change: radiative forcing of forest expansion in temperate mountainous regions of Switzerland

Michael Lehning, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay

In this study, we assess the climate mitigation potential from afforestation in a mountainous snow-rich region (Switzerland) with strongly varying environmental conditions. Using radiative forcing calculations, we quantify both the carbon sequestration pot ...

Accuracy of Phase-Based Algorithms for the Estimation of the Specific Differential Phase Shift Using Simulated Polarimetric Weather Radar Data

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin

The specific differential phase shift on propagation K-dp is widely employed in the study of precipitation, although little is known about the effective accuracy of its estimates. The aim of this letter is to analyze the quality of K-dp estimates, using re ...

Improved Estimation of the Specific Differential Phase Shift Using a Compilation of Kalman Filter Ensembles

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin

A new algorithm for the accurate estimation of the specific differential phase shift on propagation (K-dp) from noisy total differential phase shift (Psi(dp)) measurements is presented for data acquired with a polarimetric weather radar. The new approach, ...

Hydrometeor classification from two-dimensional video disdrometer data

Alexis Berne, Devis Tuia, Jacopo Grazioli, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, Timothy Hugh Raupach, Samuel Monhart

The first hydrometeor classification technique based on two-dimensional video disdrometer (2DVD) data is presented. The method provides an estimate of the dominant hydrometeor type falling over time intervals of 60 s during precipitation, using the statist ...
