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

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

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 ...

Undercatch Adjustments for Tipping-Bucket Gauge Measurements of Solid Precipitation

Audrey Reverdin

Heated tipping-bucket (TB) gauges are used broadly in national weather monitoring networks, but their performance for the measurement of solid precipitation has not been well characterized. Manufacturer-provided TB gauges were evaluated at five test sites ...

Radar measurements of blowing snow off a mountain ridge

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Benjamin Andreas Walter, Josué Etienne Gehring

Modelling and forecasting wind-driven redistribution of snow in mountainous regions with its implications on avalanche danger, mountain hydrology or flood hazard is still a challenging task often lacking in essential details. Measurements of drifting and b ...

Learning about the vertical structure of radar reflectivity using hydrometeor classes and neural networks in the Swiss Alps

Alexis Berne, Marco Gabella, Floortje Elisabeth Maria Van den Heuvel

The use of radar for precipitation measurement in mountainous regions is complicated by many factors, especially beam shielding by terrain features, which, for example, reduces the visibility of the shallow precipitation systems during the cold season. Whe ...

Synoptic conditions and atmospheric moisture pathways associated with virga and precipitation over coastal Adelie Land in Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon, Nicolas Jean François Jullien

Precipitation falling over the coastal regions of Antarctica often experiences low-level sublimation within the dry katabatic layer. The amount of water that reaches the ground surface is thereby considerably reduced. This paper investigates the synoptic c ...
