AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
GSN (Global Sensor Networks) is capable of managing configurable virtual sensors through a wide range of wrappers, and is able to manage one-shot and continuous queries, even in a distributed environment with several GSN instances. However, each GSN instan ...
Avalanches have long been a natural threat to humans in mountainous areas. At the end of the Middle Ages, the population in Europe experienced significant growth, leading to an intensive exploitation of upper valleys. At almost the same time, Europe’s clim ...
The assessment of water resources and their change in time as well as many other applications from hydrology to meteorology require the successful modelling of the dynamics of the seasonal snow cover. Especially if extrapolation in time, e.g. for climate c ...
A non-hydrostatic numerical model forced by tides has been adapted to the Strait of Gibraltar area to investigate the dynamics of the interface layer in the eastern part of the strait, namely the area that extends from the main sill of Camarinal to the eas ...
The Codelco Andina copper mine is operating in high alpine terrain where avalanches pose a threat to the operations and the infrastructure. A dedicated avalanche warning service is responsible for opening and closing the heavily used access road. To suppor ...
Numerical models of snow avalanches propagation have acquired a central role among decision tools for avalanche protection engineering. Nevertheless, the systematic implementation of these models still faces a number of difficulties including the precise e ...
High-density snow layers deteriorate grazing conditions for reindeer during winter. We compare two different methods for identifying past winters with difficult grazing conditions for reindeer in Kautokeino, northern Norway. A long-term climate analysis ba ...
If a weak snow layer below a cohesive slab is present in the snow cover, unstable snow conditions can prevail for days or even weeks. We monitored the temporal evolution of a weak layer of faceted crystals as well as the overlaying slab layers at the locat ...
An X-band polarimetric radar was deployed in the eastern Swiss Alps at an altitude of 2133 m. Radar measurements were complemented with several weather stations deployed in an altitude range from 1500 to 3100 m as well as with a fixed GPS ground station th ...
Simulating a building to predict its performance over the course of a full year requires an accurate representation of the stable and representative weather patterns of a location, i.e. a weather file. While weather file providers give due consideration to ...
