• Lagrangian matches between observations from aircraft, lidar and radar in a warm conveyor belt crossing orography 

      Boettcher, Maxi; Schäfler, Andreas; Sprenger, Michael; Sodemann, Harald; Kaufmann, Stefan; Voigt, Christiane; Schlager, Hans; Summa, Donato; DI Girolamo, Paolo; Nerini, Daniele; Germann, Urs; Wernli, Heini (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Warm conveyor belts (WCBs) are important airstreams in extratropical cyclones, often leading to the formation of intense precipitation and the amplification of upper-level ridges. This study presents a case study that ...
    • Meridional and vertical variations of the water vapour isotopic composition in the marine boundary layer over the Atlantic and Southern Ocean 

      Thurnherr, Iris; Kozachek, Anna V.; Graf, Pascal; Weng, Yongbiao; Bolshiyanov, Dimitri Yu.; Landwehr, Sebastian; Pfahl, Stephan; Schmale, Julia; Sodemann, Harald; Steen-Larsen, Hans Christian; Toffoli, Alessandro; Wernli, Heini; Aemisegger, Franziska (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Stable water isotopologues (SWIs) are useful tracers of moist diabatic processes in the atmospheric water cycle. They provide a framework to analyse moist processes on a range of timescales from large-scale moisture transport ...
    • A new interpretative framework for below-cloud effects on stable water isotopes in vapour and rain 

      Graf, Pascal; Wernli, Heini; Pfahl, Stephan; Sodemann, Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-22)
      Raindrops interact with water vapour in ambient air while sedimenting from the cloud base to the ground. They constantly exchange water molecules with the environment and, in sub-saturated air, they evaporate partially or ...
    • The North Atlantic waveguide and downstream impact experiment 

      Schäfler, Andreas; Craig, George; Wernli, Heini; Arbogast, Philippe; Doyle, James D.; McTaggart-Cowan, Ron; Methven, John; Rivière, Gwendal; Ament, Felix; Boettcher, Maxi; Bramberger, Martina; Cazenave, Quitterie; Cotton, Richard; Crewell, Susannne; Delanoë, Julien; Dörnbrack, Andreas; Ehrlich, André; Ewald, Florian; Fix, Andreas; Grams, Christian M.; Gray, Suzanne L.; Grob, Johannes; Groß, Silke; Hagen, Martin; Harvey, Ben; Hirsch, Lutz; Jacob, Marek; Kölling, Tobias; Konow, Heike; Lemmerz, Christian; Lux, Oliver; Magnusson, Linus; Mayer, Bernhard; Mech, Mario; Moore, Richard; Pelon, Jacques; Quinting, Julian; Rahm, Stephan; Rapp, Markus; Rautenhaus, Marc; Reitebuch, Oliver; Reynolds, Carlolyn A.; Sodemann, Harald; Spengler, Thomas; Vaughan, Geraint; Wendisch, Manfred; Wirth, Martin; Witschas, Benjamin; Wolf, Kevin; Zinner, Tobias (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      The North Atlantic Waveguide and Downstream Impact Experiment (NAWDEX) explored the impact of diabatic processes on disturbances of the jet stream and their influence on downstream high-impact weather through the deployment ...
