Good enough: Intermediate complexity atmospheric models improve the representation of processes affecting seasonal snow

Dylan Stewart Reynolds

Snow plays a crucial role in processes regulating ecosystems, the climate, and human development. Mountain snowpack in particular has great relevance for downstream communities. Knowledge about the distribution and properties of the snowpack thus help in p ...

Meteorology and snow transport at S17 near Syowa, Antarctica, in austral summer 2018/2019

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Francesco Comola, Varun Sharma, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Armin Sigmund, Daniela Brito Melo

This dataset contains measurement and simulation data. The measurements characterize the standard meteorology, turbulence, and snow transport at the S17 site near Syowa Station in East Antarctica during an expedition in austral summer 2018/2019. Large-eddy ...

Snowpack runoff formation processes during rain-on-snow events

Sebastian Würzer

Rain-on-snow (ROS) events cause repeated flooding in many mountainous regions with a seasonal snow cover. The complex interaction of processes across spatial scales makes it difficult to accurately predict the effect of snow cover on runoff formation for a ...

Multi-scale modelling to evaluate building energy consumption at the neighbourhood scale

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Silvia Coccolo, Dasaraden Mauree

A new methodology is proposed to couple a meteorological model with a building energy use model. The aim of such a coupling is to improve the boundary conditions of both models with no significant increase in computational time. In the present case, the Ca ...

Evaluation of modelled snow depth and snow water equivalent at three contrasting sites in Switzerland using SNOWPACK simulations driven by different meteorological data input

Michael Lehning, Charles Fierz

The knowledge of certain snow indices such as the number of snow days, maximum snow depth and snow water equivalent or the date of snow disappearance is important for many economical and ecological applications. However, snow data are frequently not availa ...

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

Martin Vetterli, Marc Parlange, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, François Ingelrest, Marc Diebold, Daniel Nadeau, 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 ...
