Erosion of soils due to rainfall impact – An interpolation method

Marc Parlange, David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

An approximate analytical solution of the Hairsine-Rose model of erosion is obtained by interpolation of asymptotic expressions for large times and great distances. The solution, when erosion is initiated by rainfall impact, is both simple and accurate. Th ...

The Effect of Scale on the Applicability of Taylor’s Frozen Turbulence Hypothesis in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer

Valentin Simeonov, Martin Froidevaux, Nikki Vercauteren, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Caitlin Ellen Barry

Taylor’s frozen turbulence hypothesis is the central assumption invoked in most experiments designed to investigate turbulence physics with time resolving sensors. It is also frequently used in theoretical discussions when linking Lagrangian to Eulerian fl ...

Fiber optic distributed temperature sensing for the determination of the nocturnal atmospheric boundary layer height

Marc Parlange, Wolf Hendrik Huwald

A new method for measuring air temperature profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer at high spatial and temporal resolution is presented. The measurements are based on Raman scattering distributed temperature sensing (DTS) with a fiber optic cable attach ...

Analysis of time compression approximations

Marc Parlange, David Andrew Barry

TCA, time compression approximation, is a practical and often quite accurate tool to predict postponding infiltration for field applications. A modified approximation (MTCA) can be used just as easily and, in general, will reduce the error by about 50%. Th ...

Improved interpolation of meteorological forcings and hydrologic implications for a Swiss alpine region

Marc Parlange, Alexis Berne, Cara Christine Tobin, Andrea Rinaldo, Ludovico Nicotina

This paper presents a comparative study on the mapping of temperature and precipitation fields in complex Alpine terrain. Its relevance hinges on the major impact that inadequate interpolations of meteorological forcings bear on the accuracy of hydrologic ...

Automated Model-driven Simulation and Visualization of Field Sensor Data

Karl Aberer, Sofiane Sarni, Marc Parlange, Michael Lehning, Silvia Simoni, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay

In the EU project Hydrosys (http://www.hydrosysonline.eu), we have defined and implemented a data processing pipeline that makes simulation process completely automated, fast and transparent to the scientist. Furthermore, our automated simulation tool is f ...

Towards oscillation-free implementation of the immersed boundary method with spectral-like methods

Jiannong Fang, Marc Diebold, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins

It is known that, when the immersed boundary method (IBM) is implemented within spectral-like methods, the Gibbs oscillation seriously deteriorates the calculation of derivatives near the body surface. In this paper, a radial basis function (RBF) based smo ...

Large Eddy Simulation study of a fully developed thermal wind-turbine array boundary layer

Marc Parlange, Marc Calaf Bracons, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

When wind turbines are arranged in large wind farms, their efficiency decreases significantly due to wake effects and to complex turbulence interactions with the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) [1]. For large wind farms whose length exceeds the ABL height ...

Hydrologic response of an alpine watershed: Application of a meteorological wireless sensor network to understand streamflow generation

Martin Vetterli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Marc Diebold, Marc Parlange, François Ingelrest, Daniel Nadeau, Silvia Simoni, Simone Padoan

A field measurement campaign was conducted from June to October 2009 in a 20 km2 catchment of the Swiss Alps with a wireless network of 12 weather stations and river discharge monitoring. The objective was to investigate the spatial variability of meteorol ...

A Simple Model for the Afternoon and Early Evening Decay of Convective Turbulence Over Different Land Surfaces

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Daniel Nadeau, Eric Richard Pardyjak

A simple model to study the decay of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the convective surface layer is presented. In this model, the TKE is dependent upon two terms, the turbulent dissipation rate and the surface buoyancy fluctuations. The time evolution o ...

Evolution of superficial lake water temperature profile under diurnal radiative forcing

Ulrich Lemmin, Nikki Vercauteren, Marc Parlange, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Ivan Lunati

In lentic water bodies, such as lakes, the water temperature near the surface typically increases during the day, and decreases during the night as a consequence of the diurnal radiative forcing (solar and infrared radiation). These temperature variations ...

Impact of Surface Flux Formulations and Geostrophic Forcing on Large-Eddy Simulations of Diurnal Atmospheric Boundary Layer Flow

Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

The impact of surface flux boundary conditions and geostrophic forcing on multiday evolution of flow in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) was assessed using large-eddy simulations (LES). The LES investigations included several combinations of surface bo ...

On the Diurnal Soil Water Content Dynamics during Evaporation using Dielectric Methods

Marc Parlange, Scott W. Tyler, Ivan Lunati

The water content dynamics in the upper soil surface during evaporation is a key element in land–atmosphere exchanges. Previous experimental studies have suggested that the soil water content increases at the depth of 5 to 15 cm below the soil surface duri ...

Field study of the dynamics and modelling of subgrid-scale turbulence in a stable atmospheric surface layer over a glacier

Marc Parlange, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Chad Higgins, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

A field experiment – the Snow Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (SnoHATS) – has been performed over an extensive glacier in Switzerland in order to study small-scale turbulence in the stable atmospheric surface layer, and to investigate the role, dynamics ...
