From model to radar variables: a new forward polarimetric radar operator for COSMO

Alexis Berne, Daniel Wolfensberger

In this work, a new forward polarimetric radar operator for the COSMO numerical weather prediction (NWP) model is proposed. This operator is able to simulate measurements of radar reflectivity at horizontal polarization, differential reflectivity as well a ...

Unraveling hydrometeor mixtures in polarimetric radar measurements

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Nikola Besic, Marco Gabella, Josué Etienne Gehring, Christophe Praz

Radar-based hydrometeor classification typically comes down to determining the dominant type of hydrometeor populating a given radar sampling volume. In this paper we address the subsequent problem of inferring the secondary hydrometeor types present in a ...

Spatial variability in snow precipitation and accumulation in COSMO–WRF simulations and radar estimations over complex terrain

Michael Lehning, Alexis Berne, Varun Sharma, Franziska Gerber, Nikola Besic, Marco Gabella

Snow distribution in complex alpine terrain and its evolution in the future climate is important in a variety of applications including hydropower, avalanche forecasting and freshwater resources. However, it is still challenging to quantitatively forecast ...

Spatial interpolation of precipitation from multiple rain gauge networks and weather radar data for operational applications in Alpine catchments

Giovanni De Cesare, Bettina Schaefli, Javier García Hernández, Alain Tommy Foehn

Increasing meteorological data availability and quality implies an adaptation of the interpolation methods for data combination. In this paper, we propose a new method to efficiently combine weather radar data with data from two heated rain gauge networks ...

Dual Dynamically Orthogonal approximation of incompressible Navier Stokes equations with random boundary conditions

Fabio Nobile, Eleonora Musharbash

In this paper we propose a method for the strong imposition of random Dirichlet boundary conditions in the Dynamical Low Rank (DLR) approximation of parabolic PDEs and, in particular, incompressible Navier Stokes equations. We show that the DLR variational ...

Retrieval of the raindrop size distribution from polarimetric radar data using double-moment normalisation

Alexis Berne, Timothy Hugh Raupach

A new technique for estimating the raindrop size distribution (DSD) from polarimetric radar data is proposed. Two statistical moments of the DSD are estimated from polarimetric variables, and the DSD is reconstructed using a double-moment normalisation. Th ...

Orbital Filter Aiding of a High Sensitivity GPS Receiver for Lunar Missions

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano, Paul David Blunt

Recent studies have shown that weak Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals could potentially be used to navigate from the Earth to the Moon. This would increase autonomy, robustness and flexibility of the navigation architectures for future luna ...

Measurement of Precipitation in the Alps Using Dual-Polarization C-Band Ground-Based Radars, the GPM Spaceborne Ku-Band Radar, and Rain Gauges

Alexis Berne, Marco Gabella, Peter James Speirs

The complex problem of quantitative precipitation estimation in the Alpine region is tackled from four different points of view: (1) the modern MeteoSwiss network of automatic telemetered rain gauges (GAUGE); (2) the recently upgraded MeteoSwiss dual-polar ...
