Abstract: Use is made of a three-dimensional model of the planetary boundary layer to investigate features of non-precipitating convection and its parameterization. The fine-grid mesh (50 m) model was first developed by J.W. Deardorff ...

Abstract: Results are presented from a present-day and a doubled CO2 experiment over the Alpine region with a nested regional climate model. The simulated temperature change signal shows a substantial elevation dependency, mostly ...

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to present a methodology aimed at predicting extreme wind speeds over Switzerland. Generalized additive models are used to regionalize wind statistics for Swiss weather stations using a number ...
