Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Snow on Central Arctic Sea Ice and its Implications

This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation of the interaction between precipitation and wind-induced erosion and deposition of snow on Arctic sea ice. The study uses observations from the 2019-2020 MOSAiC expedition and makes use of the 3D snow cov ...

Dynamics of cavitation bubbles near granular boundaries

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

We study the dynamics of a cavitation bubble near beds of sand of different grain sizes. We use high-speed imaging to observe the motion of the bubble and the sand for different values of the stand-off parameter gamma (dimensionless bubble-boundary distanc ...

A sequence-dependent coarse-grain model of B-DNA with explicit description of bases and phosphate groups parametrised from large scale Molecular Dynamics simulations

Alessandro Samuele Patelli

We introduce a sequence-dependent coarse-grain model of double-stranded DNA with an explicit description of both the bases and the phosphate groups as interacting rigid-bodies. The model parameters are trained on extensive, state-of-the-art large scale mol ...

Effects of episodic rainfall on a subterranean estuary

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

Numerical simulations were conducted to examine the effect of episodic rainfall on nearshore groundwater dynamics in a tidally influenced unconfined coastal aquifer, with a focus on both long- (yearly) and short-term (daily) behaviour of submarine groundwa ...

Fragmentation of wind-blown snow crystals

Michael Lehning, Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Francesco Comola, Enrico Paterna

Understanding the dynamics driving the transformation of snowfall crystals into blowing snow particles is critical to correctly account for the energy and mass balances in polar and alpine regions. Here we propose a fragmentation theory of fractal snow cry ...

Quantifying Particle Numbers and Mass Flux in Drifting Snow

Michael Lehning, Philip Crivelli, Enrico Paterna

We compare two of the most common methods of quantifying mass flux, particle numbers and particle-size distribution for drifting snow events, the snow-particle counter (SPC), a laser-diode-based particle detector, and particle tracking velocimetry based on ...

Changes in snow distribution and surface topography following a snowstorm on Antarctic sea ice

Michael Lehning, Katherine Colby Leonard, Ernesto Trujillo Gomez

Snow distribution over sea ice is an important control on sea ice physical and biological processes. We combine measurements of the atmospheric boundary layer and blowing snow on an Antarctic sea ice floe with terrestrial laser scanning to characterize a t ...

Capacity and Data Complexity in Multidimensional Linear Attack

Serge Vaudenay, Jialin Huang

Multidimensional linear attacks are one of the most powerful variants of linear cryptanalytic techniques now. However, there is no knowledge on the key-dependent capacity and data complexity so far. Their values were assumed to be close to the average valu ...

Measurement of e(+)e(-) -> gamma chi(cJ) via initial state radiation at Belle

Olivier Schneider, Sun Hee Kim, Jun Yong Kim

The process e(+)e(-) -> gamma chi(cJ) (J = 1, 2) is studied via initial state radiation using 980 fb(-1) of data at and around the Gamma(nS) (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) resonances collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetricenergy e(+)e(-) collider. No ...

Reconstruction and stability in acousto-optic imaging for absorption maps with bounded variation

Quoc Hung Nguyen

The aim of this paper is to propose for the first time a reconstruction scheme and a stability result for recovering from acousto-optic data absorption distributions with bounded variation. The paper extends earlier results in [3] and [5] on smooth absorpt ...

Modelling Small-Scale Drifting Snow with a Lagrangian Stochastic Model Based on Large-Eddy Simulations

Michael Lehning, Marc Parlange, Marc Diebold

Observations of drifting snow on small scales have shown that, in spite of nearly steady winds, the snow mass flux can strongly fluctuate in time and space. Most drifting snow models, however, are not able to describe drifting snow accurately over short ti ...

Memory of past random wave conditions in submarine groundwater discharge

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is an integral part of the hydrological cycle and represents an important aspect of land-ocean interactions. We used a numerical model to simulate flow and salt transport in a nearshore groundwater aquifer under varyin ...

Modelling Drifting Snow Sublimation and Investigating Small-Scale Snow Transport

Christine Dorothea Groot Zwaaftink

Drifting snow has a large influence on the mountain snow cover and the overlying atmospheric boundary layer. Consequently, drifting snow also affects avalanches, snow hydrology, vegetation and climate. Considerable effort is devoted to understanding the pr ...

Stochastic simulation of intermittent DSD fields in time

Alexis Berne, Marc Schleiss, Joël Jaffrain

A method for the stochastic simulation of (rain)drop size distributions (DSDs) in space and time using geostatistics is presented. At each pixel, the raindrop size distribution is described by a Gamma distribution with two or three stochastic parameters. T ...

Modélisation physique et analyse numérique de la propagation d'une masse granulaire : contribution à l'étude des avalanches rocheuses

Claire Sauthier

Rock avalanches are processes involving a huge amount of mobilised material, larger than 106 m3, and their propagation is characterised by a very high energy, such that no active mitigation measure is capable of protecting human lives and properties potent ...

Stochastic dynamics of snow avalanche occurrence by superposition of Poisson processes

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy

We study the dynamics of systems with deterministic trajectories randomly forced by instantaneous discontinuous jumps occurring according to two different compound Poisson processes. One process, with constant frequency, causes instantaneous positive rando ...
