Environmental Remote Sensing Laboratory

Laboratory

The Environmental Teledetection Laboratory (LTE) at EPFL focuses on understanding the dynamics of precipitation in alpine regions, crucial for water resources and natural hazards forecasting. LTE combines experimental methods like X-band radar and disdrometers with stochastic modeling to quantify uncertainties. Research projects include Antarctic precipitation and microphysics, convective precipitation, and quantitative precipitation estimation. LTE is involved in various field campaigns and manages advanced instruments such as the MXPol radar, WProf cloud radar, Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera (MASC), and a network of disdrometers. Recent publications cover topics like snowfall microphysical properties, calibration transfer methodology for cloud radars, and simulation of snowfall in Antarctica.
