Experimental observation of transient δ18O interaction between snow and advective airflow under various temperature gradient conditions
(2017)The Cryosphere DiscussionsStable water isotopes (δ18O) obtained from snow and ice samples of polar regions are used to reconstruct past climate variability, but heat and mass transport processes can affect the isotopic composition. Here we present an experimental study on the effect on the snow isotopic composition by airflow through a snow pack in controlled laboratory conditions. The influence of isothermal and controlled temperature gradient conditions on the ...Working Paper -
PathfinderTURB: an automatic boundary layer algorithm. Development, validation and application to study the impact on in-situ measurements at the Jungfraujoch
(2017)Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics DiscussionsContinuous observations of the vertical structure of the planetary boundary layer are invaluable for the validation of atmospheric transport models on the micro and meso scale. Lidar and ceilometer backscatter observations offer a robust technique with growing spatial coverage, but the obtained backscatter profiles need to be carefully translated into boundary layer parameters. Here we present the development of the PathfinderTURB algorithm ...Working Paper -

Effects of vernal equinox solar eclipse on temperatures and wind directions in Switzerland
(2017)Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics DiscussionsThe vernal equinox total solar eclipse of 20 March 2015 produced a maximum occultation of 65.8 to 70.1 % over Switzerland during the morning hours (09:22 to 11:48 CET). Skies were generally clear over the Swiss Alps due to a persistent high-pressure band between the UK and Russia associated with a rather weak pressure gradient over the continent. To assess the effects of penumbral shading on near-surface meteorology across Switzerland, ...Working Paper
