Response of snow cover and runoff to climate change in high Alpine catchments of Eastern Switzerland

Michael Lehning, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Thomas Grünewald

A model study on the impact of climate change on snow cover and runoff has been conducted for the Swiss Canton of Graubünden. The model Alpine3D has been forced with the data from 35 Automatic Weather Stations in order to investigate snow and runoff dynami ...

Mapping frequencies of icing on structures in Switzerland

Michael Lehning, Thomas Grünewald, Walter Steinkogler, Philippe Steiner

Icing of structures is a problem for wind energy production in cold regions and makes careful planning of new projects essential. This study presents and evaluates a method to create a map showing the frequency of meteorological icing in Switzerland. Icing ...

Micrometeorological processes driving snow ablation in an Alpine catchment

Michael Lehning, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Thomas Grünewald

Mountain snow covers typically become patchy over the course of a melting season. The snow pattern during melt is mainly governed by the end of winter snow depth distribution and the local energy balance. The objective of this study is to investigate micro ...
