Relevance of the correlation between precipitation and the 0 C isothermal altitude for extreme flood estimation

Anton Schleiss, Bettina Schaefli, Javier García Hernández, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue

Extreme floods are commonly estimated with the help of design storms and hydrological models. In this paper, we propose a new method to take into account the relationship between precipitation intensity (P) and air temperature (T) to account for potential ...

Sensitivity of simulated summer monsoonal precipitation in Langtang Valley, Himalaya, to cloud microphysics schemes in WRF

Margaux Caroline Patricia Couttet

A better understanding of regional-scale precipitation patterns in the Himalayan region is required to increase our knowledge of the impacts of climate change on downstream water availability. This study examines the impact of four cloud microphysical sche ...

Distributed snow and rock temperature modelling in steep rock walls using Alpine3D

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever

In this study we modelled the influence of the spatially and temporally heterogeneous snow cover on the surface energy balance and thus on rock temperatures in two rugged, steep rock walls on the Gemsstock ridge in the central Swiss Alps. The heterogeneous ...

A radar-based regional extreme rainfall analysis to derive the thresholds for a novel automatic alert system in Switzerland

Alexis Berne, Marco Gabella, Luca Panziera

This paper presents a regional extreme rainfall analysis based on 10 years of radar data for the 159 regions adopted for official natural hazard warnings in Switzerland. Moreover, a nowcasting tool aimed at issuing heavy precipitation regional alerts is in ...
