Advances in understanding and parameterization of small-scalephysical processes in the marine Arctic climate system: a review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-10)The Arctic climate system includes numerous highly interactive small-scale physical processes in the atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean. During and since the International Polar Year 2007–2009, significant advances have been ... -
The BLLAST field experiment: Boundary-Layer late afternoon and sunset turbulence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-16)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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 ... -

Quantifying the contribution of anthropogenic influence to the East Asian winter monsoon in 1960-2012
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-07)The East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) is greatly influenced by many factors that can be classified as anthropogenic forcing and natural forcing. Here we explore the contribution of anthropogenic influence to the change in ...
