From model to radar variables: a new forward polarimetric radar operator for COSMO

Alexis Berne, Daniel Wolfensberger

In this work, a new forward polarimetric radar operator for the COSMO numerical weather prediction (NWP) model is proposed. This operator is able to simulate measurements of radar reflectivity at horizontal polarization, differential reflectivity as well a ...

Wavevector-Selective Nonlinear Plasmonic Metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Kuang-Yu Yang, Jérémy Butet, Chen Yan

Electromagnetic metasurfaces with strong non- linear responses and angular selectivity could o ff er many new avenues for designing ultrathin optics components. We investigated the optical second harmonic generation from plasmonic metasurfaces composed of ...

Small-Scale Variability of the Raindrop Size Distribution and Its Effect on Areal Rainfall Retrieval

Alexis Berne, Timothy Hugh Raupach

The drop size distribution (DSD) describes the microstructure of liquid precipitation. The high variability of the DSD reflects the variety of microphysical processes controlling raindrop properties and affects the retrieval of rainfall. An analysis of the ...

Acoustic carpet cloak based on an ultrathin metasurface

Juan Ramon Mosig, Hervé Lissek, Sami Driss Karkar, Seyyed Hussein Seyyed Esfahlani

An acoustic metasurface carpet cloak based on membrane-capped cavities is proposed and investigated numerically. This design has been chosen for allowing ultrathin geometries, although adapted to airborne sound frequencies in the range of 1 kHz (λ≈30 cm), ...

Variability of the raindrop size distribution across scales in Mediterranean rainfall : characterisation and stochastic simulation

Timothy Hugh Raupach

Measurement of rain is made difficult by the high variability of the precipitation process, down to raindrop scale. Point measurements are generally accurate, but their lack of spatial representativeness is a significant limitation. Weather radars indirect ...

Multi-band reflectarray antennas in Ku and THz frequency bands

Hamed Hasani

Printed reflectarrays are low-cost, low-profile high gain antennas demonstrating distinctive advantages over conventional parabolic reflectors and phased-arrays. The flat, low weight reflecting surface of a reflectarray makes it an attractive alternative w ...

Polarimetric radar and in situ observations of riming and snowfall microphysics during CLACE 2014

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Luca Panziera

This study investigates the microphysics of winter alpine snowfall occurring in mixed-phase clouds in an inner-Alpine valley during January and February 2014. The available observations include high-resolution polarimetric radar and in situ measurements of ...

Synergy of hyperspectral and microwave remote sensing data to derive bio- and geo-physical parameters for land applications

Jelena Stamenkovic

Retrieval of bio/geophysical variables from remote sensing imagery is an important research field. Due to the development and availability of different EO satellites, especially the ones with hyperspectral sensors, the combined use of radar and optical ima ...

Orographic effects on snow deposition patterns in mountainous terrain

Michael Lehning, Alexis Berne, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, Danny Eddy Scipion Castillo

Orographic lifting of air masses and other topographically modified flows induce cloud and precipitation formation at larger scales and preferential deposition of precipitation at smaller scales. In this study, we examine orographic effects on small-scale ...
