Location Accuracy Evaluation of ToA-Based Lightning Location Systems Over Mountainous Terrain

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

In this paper, we analyze the location error of time of arrival (ToA)-based lightning location systems (LLSs) caused by propagation effects over mountainous terrain around the Santis tower located in the Swiss Alps. The study is based on a full-wave three- ...

Potential contributions of wind power to a stable and highly renewable Swiss power supply

Michael Lehning, Annelen Kahl, Albertus Christiaan Kruyt

Using data from two measurement networks, we analyse the following aspects of wind speeds over Switzerland to assess the possibility of high wind power penetration: spatial correlation, persistent low wind power conditions and the diurnal and seasonal wind ...

Field study on drainage densities and rescaled width functions in a high‐altitude alpine catchment

Marc Parlange, Andrea Rinaldo, Raphaël Mutzner

This paper addresses the effect of accurately mapping spatially heterogeneous drainage densities in high-altitude alpine basins on Rescaled Width Functions (RWFs), used in some applications as a minimalist model of the hydrologic response. The channel netw ...

Adapting tilt corrections and the governing flow equations for steep, fully three-dimensional, mountainous terrain

Marc Parlange, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Holly Jayne Oldroyd

In recent studies of atmospheric turbulent surface exchange in complex terrain, questions arise concerning velocity-sensor tilt corrections and the governing flow equations for coordinate systems aligned with steep slopes. The standard planar-fit method, a ...

On Lightning Electromagnetic Field Propagation Along an Irregular Terrain

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mario Paolone, Davide Pavanello, Mohammad Azadifar, Zhaoyang Wang, Stefan Metz

In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of the propagation effects of lightning electromagnetic fields over a mountainous terrain. The analysis is supported by experimental observations consisting of simultaneous records of lightning currents and ...
