      Due to the major role of the sun in heating the earth's surface, the atmospheric planetary boundary layer over land is inherently marked by a diurnal cycle. The afternoon transition, the period of the day that connects the ...
    • Downslope windstorm in Iceland –WRF/MM5 model comparison 

      Rögnvaldsson, Ólafur; Bao, J. W.; Ágústsson, Hálfdán; Ólafsson, Haraldur (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01-05)
      A severe windstorm downstream of Mt. Öræfajökull in Southeast Iceland is simulated on a grid of 1 km horizontal resolution by using the PSU/NCAR MM5 model and the Advanced Research WRF model. Both models are run with a ...
    • Large-eddy simulation of radiation fog with comprehensive two-moment bulk microphysics: Impact of different aerosol activation and condensation parameterizations 

      Schwenkel, Johannes; Maronga, Bjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-29)
      In this paper we study the influence of the cloud microphysical parameterization, namely the effect of different methods for calculating the supersaturation and aerosol activation, on the structure and life cycle of radiation ...
    • 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 ...
    • Moisture origin as a driver of temporal variabilities of the water vapour isotopic composition in the Lena River delta, Siberia 

      Bonne, Jean-Louis; Meyer, Hanno; Behrens, Melanie; Boike, Julia; Kipfstuhl, Sepp; Rabe, Benjamin; Schmidt, Toni; Schönicke, Lutz; Steen-Larsen, Hans Christian; Werner, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      In the context of the Arctic amplification of climate change affecting the regional atmospheric hydrological cycle, it is crucial to characterize the present-day moisture sources of the Arctic. The isotopic composition is ...
    • 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 ...
    • A new roughness length parameterization accounting for wind-wave (mis)alignment 

      Porchetta, Sara; Temel, Orkun; Munoz-Esparza, Domingo; Reuder, Joachim; Monbaliu, Jaak; Van Beeck, Jeroen; van Lipzig, Nicole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-20)
      Two-way feedback occurs between offshore wind and waves. However, the influence of the waves on the wind profile remains understudied, in particular the momentum transfer between the sea surface and the atmosphere. Previous ...
