Radar-rain gauge merging and discharge data assimilation for flood forecasting in Alpine catchments

Alain Tommy Foehn

Floods are responsible for one third of the economic losses induced by natural hazards throughout the world. To better protect the population and infrastructures, flood forecasting systems make us of weather forecasts to foresee floods several days in adva ...

Overview of recent gyrotron R&D towards DEMO within EUROfusion Work Package Heating and Current Drive

Jean-Philippe Hogge, Jérémy Genoud, Ioannis Pagonakis, Martin Schmid, Konstantinos Avramidis

Gyrotron R&D within the EUROfusion Work Package Heating and Current Drive (WPHCD) is addressing the challenging requirements posed on gyrotrons by the European concept for a demonstration fusion power plant (EU DEMO). These requirements, as specified withi ...

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 ...

Spatial variability in snow precipitation and accumulation in COSMO–WRF simulations and radar estimations over complex terrain

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Alexis Berne, Franziska Gerber, Nikola Besic, Marco Gabella, Urs Martin Germann

Snow distribution in complex alpine terrain and its evolution in the future climate is important in a variety of applications including hydropower, avalanche forecasting and freshwater resources. However, it is still challenging to quantitatively forecast ...

Unraveling hydrometeor mixtures in polarimetric radar measurements

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Josué Etienne Gehring, Nikola Besic, Marco Gabella, Christophe Praz, Urs Martin Germann

Radar-based hydrometeor classification typically comes down to determining the dominant type of hydrometeor populating a given radar sampling volume. In this paper we address the subsequent problem of inferring the secondary hydrometeor types present in a ...

Spatial interpolation of precipitation from multiple rain gauge networks and weather radar data for operational applications in Alpine catchments

Giovanni De Cesare, Javier García Hernández, Bettina Schaefli, Alain Tommy Foehn

Increasing meteorological data availability and quality implies an adaptation of the interpolation methods for data combination. In this paper, we propose a new method to efficiently combine weather radar data with data from two heated rain gauge networks ...

A polarimetric radar operator to evaluate precipitation from the COSMO atmospheric model

Daniel Wolfensberger

Weather radars provide real-time measurements of precipitation at a high temporal and spatial resolution and over a large domain. A drawback, however, it that these measurements are indirect and require careful interpretation to yield relevant information ...

Dual Dynamically Orthogonal approximation of incompressible Navier Stokes equations with random boundary conditions

Fabio Nobile, Eleonora Musharbash

In this paper we propose a method for the strong imposition of random Dirichlet boundary conditions in the Dynamical Low Rank (DLR) approximation of parabolic PDEs and, in particular, incompressible Navier Stokes equations. We show that the DLR variational ...

Retrieval of the raindrop size distribution from polarimetric radar data using double-moment normalisation

Alexis Berne, Timothy Hugh Raupach

A new technique for estimating the raindrop size distribution (DSD) from polarimetric radar data is proposed. Two statistical moments of the DSD are estimated from polarimetric variables, and the DSD is reconstructed using a double-moment normalisation. Th ...

Carrier Tracking using Extended Kalman Filters for GNSS Synthetic Aperture Processing with a Rotating Antenna

Pierre-André Farine, Joaquin Cabeza de Pablo, Cyril Botteron, Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix

A single GNSS antenna moving along a known trajectory can be used to synthesize a virtual array in order to apply spatial diversity techniques, e.g. beamforming. With these techniques, referred as synthetic aperture (SA) techniques, the receiver can mitiga ...
