What can radars tell us about snowfall microphysics? Insights from a Markov chain Monte-Carlo approach

Alexis Berne, Anne-Claire Marie Billault--Roux

Multi-frequency and Doppler spectral radars are valuable tools for retrieving information on the microphysics of precipitation, particularly snowfall. However, estimating microphysical properties from radar measurements is an ill-posed problem, i.e., diffe ...

A 7-year record of vertical profiles of radar measurements and precipitation estimates at Dumont d'Urville, Adélie Land, East Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli

Studying precipitation falling over Antarctica is crucial as snowfall represents the main water input term for the polar cap. However, precipitation observations still remain scarce-and, more particularly, in the atmospheric column-due to numerous experime ...

Design of an Open-Loop Pile-Oscillation Program in the CROCUS Reactor

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Axel Guy Marie Laureau, Thomas Jean-François Ligonnet

As a follow-up to the CEA-EPFL PETALE experimental program on stainless steel nuclear data, the EPFL initiated an open-loop pile-oscillation experimental program in the CROCUS reactor: BLOOM. A reproduction of the critical experiments of PETALE, the progra ...

Euclid preparation: XXVIII. Forecasts for ten different higher-order weak lensing statistics

Maurizio Martinelli, Frédéric Courbin, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel

Recent cosmic shear studies have shown that higher-order statistics (HOS) developed by independent teams now outperform standard two-point estimators in terms of statistical precision thanks to their sensitivity to the non-Gaussian features of large-scale ...

Climatological trends of mean and extreme daily precipitation in Arizona (USA)

Aldo Brandi

Precipitation in Arizona, USA, represents a fundamental resource for the needs of agriculture, people, and the environment. However, due to the risk associated with flash flooding, extreme precipitation also constitutes a natural hazard. Available research ...

Networks with correlated edge processes

Mária Süveges, Sofia Charlotta Olhede

This article proposes methods to model non-stationary temporal graph processes motivated by a hospital interaction data set. This corresponds to modelling the observation of edge variables indicating interactions between pairs of nodes exhibiting dependenc ...

CRYOWRF—Model Evaluation and the Effect of Blowing Snow on the Antarctic Surface Mass Balance

Michael Lehning, Varun Sharma, Franziska Gerber

The surface mass balance (SMB) of large polar ice sheets and of snow and ice surfaces in general are incompletely understood because of the complexity of processes involved. One such process, drifting and blowing snow, has only been considered in a very si ...

Higher Order Asymptotics: Applications to Satellite Conjunction and Boundary Problems

Soumaya Elkantassi

Higher-order asymptotics provide accurate approximations for use in parametric statistical modelling. In this thesis, we investigate using higher-order approximations in two-specific settings, with a particular emphasis on the tangent exponential model. ...

Radar processing techniques to study summer snowfall in the Sør Rondane Mountains, Antarctica

Alfonso Ferrone

Snowfall is one of the main positive contributors to the surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet. There are several techniques to monitor solid precipitation on the continent. Among them, meteorological radars provide the means to characterize the ...

Numerical simulations of gas puff imaging using a multi-component model of the neutral-plasma interaction in the tokamak boundary

Paolo Ricci

A three-dimensional simulation of gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostics is carried out by using a self-consistent multi-component model of the neutral-plasma interaction. The simulation, based on the drift-reduced Braginskii model for the plasma and a kinetic ...

Spatio-temporal estimation of wind speed and wind power using extreme learning machines: predictions, uncertainty and technical potential

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch, Federico Amato

With wind power providing an increasing amount of electricity worldwide, the quantification of its spatio-temporal variations and the related uncertainty is crucial for energy planners and policy-makers. Here, we propose a methodological framework which (1 ...

Impacts of climate change on Swiss alluvial aquifers - A quantitative forecast focused on natural and artificial groundwater recharge by surface water infiltration

Carl Love Mikael Råman Vinnå, Sebastiano Piccolroaz

The sensitivity of future groundwater recharge and temperature development was investigated for three alluvial aquifers in the urban agglomeration of the city of Basel, Switzerland. For selected climate projections groundwater recharge and the associated t ...

Estimation of Charge Transfer During Long Continuing Currents in Natural Downward Flashes Using Single‐Station E‐Field Measurements

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Hannes Kohlmann

The amount of charge transferred to ground during long continuing currents in natural downward flashes can be obtained either through direct current measurements or using remote electromagnetic fields, if direct measurements are not feasible. In this study ...

MASCDB, a database of images, descriptors and microphysical properties of individual snowflakes in free fall

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Anne-Claire Marie Billault--Roux, Gionata Ghiggi

Snowfall information at the scale of individual particles is rare, difficult to gather, but fundamental for a better understanding of solid precipitation microphysics. In this article we present a dataset (with dedicated software) of in-situ measurements o ...

Wind-Topo: Downscaling near-surface wind fields to high-resolution topography in highly complex terrain with deep learning

Michael Lehning, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin

Predicting wind flow in highly complex terrain like the Alps is a challenge for all models. When physical processes need to be resolved in a spatially explicit manner, grids with high horizontal resolution of a few hundred meters are often required and dra ...

Present and Future of Rainfall in Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

While most precipitation in Antarctica falls as snow, little is known about liquid precipitation, although it can have ecological and climatic impacts. This study combines meteorological reports at 10 stations with the ERA5 reanalysis to provide a climatol ...
