Seasonal simulation of drifting snow sublimation in Alpine terrain

Michael Lehning

We estimate seasonal drifting snow sublimation at a study site in the Swiss Alps with the numerical model Alpine3D using external wind fields from the Advanced Regional Prediction System on a high-resolution grid (10 m). Novel in the field of snow transpor ...

Near-wake flow structure downwind of a wind turbine in a turbulent boundary layer

Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort

Wind turbines operate in the surface layer of the atmospheric boundary layer, where they are subjected to strong wind shear and relatively high turbulence levels. These incoming boundary layer flow characteristics are expected to affect the structure of wi ...

Improving Alpine Flood Prediction through Hydrological Process Characterization and Uncertainty Analysis

Cara Christine Tobin

Among the many challenges of Alpine flood prediction is describing complex, meteo-hydrological processes in a simplified, robust manner that can be easily integrated into operational forecasting. In this dissertation, improved methods to characterize these ...

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

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

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 ...
