Abstract: his is one of the first case studies of a snowstorm at Lake Constance, located between Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, which assesses the influence of the lake and the orography on the generation of heavy precipitation. ...

Abstract: n 1 February 2014, the southern side of the Alps was affected by a severe snowstorm that forced authorities to issue the highest level of avalanche danger in southern parts of Austria. The northern side of the Alps was ...

Abstract: A case study of a south foehn windstorm observed across the Brenner Pass in the Wipp Valley near the Austrian?Italian border is presented based on a detailed comparison and verification of high-resolution numerical simulations ...

Abstract: An instrument package to measure temperature, pressure, humidity, and position was designed to be quickly deployable on any automobile to be used for the study of gap and other orographically influenced flows. Differential ...

Abstract: he breakup of a nocturnal temperature inversion during daytime is studied in an idealized valley by means of high-resolution numerical simulations. Vertical fluxes of heat and mass are strongly reduced as long as an inversion ...

Abstract: he role of horizontal model grid resolution on the development of the daytime boundary layer over mountainous terrain is studied. A simple idealized valley topography with a cross-valley width of 20 km, a valley depth of ...

Abstract: processes contributing to the global CO2 budget, net uptake by the land surface bears the largest uncertainty. Therefore, the land sink is often estimated as the residual from the other terms that are known with greater ...

Abstract: he flow and turbulence structure in the atmospheric boundary layer over complex mountainous terrain determines Earth?atmosphere interaction, that is, the exchange of energy, mass, and momentum between the surface over such ...

Abstract: The CROSSINN field experiment investigates the three-dimensional structure of thermally and dynamically driven flows and their impact on the boundary layer in a large Alpine valley using comprehensive state-of-the-art ...
