Impact of intercepted and sub-canopy snow microstructure on snowpack response to rain-on-snow events under a boreal canopy

Michael Lehning, Daniel Nadeau, Nander Wever, Adrien Michel, Benjamin Bouchard

Rain-on-snow events can cause severe flooding in snow-dominated regions. These are expected to become more frequent in the future as climate change shifts the precipitation from snowfall to rainfall. However, little is known about how winter rainfall inter ...

Flow during the evening transition over steep Alpine slopes

Marc Parlange, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Chad Higgins, Daniel Nadeau, Eric Richard Pardyjak

A field campaign, the Slope Experiment near La Fouly (SELF-2010), was conducted to monitor the evening transition of slope flows on clear-sky days from July to September 2010 in a narrow valley of the Swiss Alps. A steep west-facing slope with inclinations ...

Summer methane fluxes from a boreal bog in northern Quebec, Canada, using eddy covariance measurements

Marc Parlange, Daniel Nadeau

A boreal bog located in the James Bay lowlands, Canada, was instrumented with an open-path gas analyzer to monitor the turbulent fluxes of methane throughout the summer of 2012. The mostly continuous eddy covariance measurements permitted the study of meth ...

Similarity Scaling Over a Steep Alpine Slope

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Daniel Nadeau, Eric Richard Pardyjak

In this study,we investigate the validity of similarity scaling over a steep mountain slope (30–41◦). The results are based on eddy-covariance data collected during the Slope Experiment near La Fouly (SELF-2010); a field campaign conducted in a narrow vall ...

Atmospheric Boundary Layer Dynamics of Transitional Flows over Complex Terrain

Daniel Nadeau

Recent advances in boundary-layer meteorology are beginning to allow the study of atmospheric flow phenomena that have previously been poorly understood. In this dissertation, we study the effects of complex terrain and unsteady regimes on the atmospheric ...

Hydrologic response of an alpine watershed: Application of a meteorological wireless sensor network to understand streamflow generation

Martin Vetterli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Marc Diebold, Marc Parlange, François Ingelrest, Daniel Nadeau, Silvia Simoni, Simone Padoan

A field measurement campaign was conducted from June to October 2009 in a 20 km2 catchment of the Swiss Alps with a wireless network of 12 weather stations and river discharge monitoring. The objective was to investigate the spatial variability of meteorol ...

A Simple Model for the Afternoon and Early Evening Decay of Convective Turbulence Over Different Land Surfaces

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Daniel Nadeau, Eric Richard Pardyjak

A simple model to study the decay of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the convective surface layer is presented. In this model, the TKE is dependent upon two terms, the turbulent dissipation rate and the surface buoyancy fluctuations. The time evolution o ...

Estimation of urban sensible heat flux using a dense wireless network of observations

Marc-Olivier Boldi, Martin Vetterli, Olivier Couach, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Marc Parlange, Daniel Nadeau

The determination of the sensible heat flux over urban terrain is challenging due to irregular surface geometry and surface types. To address this, in 2006–07, a major field campaign (LUCE) took place at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne campus, ...
