Superconducting Gravimeter Observations Show That a Satellite-Derived Snow Depth Image Improves the Simulation of the Snow Water Equivalent Evolution in a High Alpine Site
Abstract. Wind-blown snow is a frequent phenomenon in high-elevation and polar regions which impacts the surface energy and mass balance of these areas. Loose surface snow gets eroded and transported by wind, which influences the snow particles' physical p ...
Natural aerosols are an important, yet understudied, part of the Arctic climate system. Natural marine biogenic aerosol components (e.g., methanesulfonic acid, MSA) are becoming increasingly important due to changing environmental conditions. In this study ...
Global-change drivers that alter tidal amplitude or sea level could directly impact coastal aquifers' seawater-microbe interactions. The semidiurnal or diurnal tide can have consequences for chemical redistribution, because it deepens oxygen and nutrients ...
When the observation of small headwater catchments in the pre-Alpine Alptal valley (central Switzerland) started in the late 1960s, the researchers were mainly interested in questions related to floods and forest management. Investigations of geomorphologi ...
Knowledge about changes in ground temperatures under a changing climate is important for many environmental, economic, and infrastructure applications and can be estimated by transient numerical simulations. However, a full annual cycle of precipitation da ...
As the need for energy is increasing, the challenges in the future are to operate existing large hydraulic schemes in more sustainable ways and to develop future water resources projects that are able to achieve a better balance between environmental and s ...
