Applicability of the landscape evolution model in the absence of rills

David Andrew Barry, Paolo Perona, Seifeddine Jomaa, Andrea Rinaldo, Mohsen Cheraghi, Andrea Cimatoribus

Despite numerous applications of physically-based models for incised landscapes, their applicability for overland flow on unchanneled surfaces is not known. This work challenges a widely used landscape evolution model for the case of non-uniform rainfall a ...

Wintertime Coastal Upwelling in Lake Geneva: An Efficient Transport Process for Deepwater Renewal in a Large, Deep Lake

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Rafael Sebastian Reiss, Andrea Cimatoribus

Combining field measurements, 3‐D numerical modeling, and Lagrangian particle tracking, we investigated wind‐driven, Ekman‐type coastal upwelling during the weakly stratified winter period 2017/2018 in Lake Geneva, Western Europe's largest lake (max. depth ...

An automated calibration framework and open source tools for 3D lake hydrodynamic models

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Theo Baracchini, Andrea Cimatoribus

Understanding lake dynamics is crucial to provide scientifically credible information for ecosystem management. In this context, three-dimensional hydrodynamic models are a key information source to assess critical but often subtle changes in lake dynamics ...

The Importance of Systematic Spatial Variability in the Surface Heat Flux of a Large Lake: A Multiannual Analysis for Lake Geneva

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi, Andrea Cimatoribus

The spatiotemporal surface heat flux (SurHF) distribution over Lake Geneva, the largest lake in Western Europe, was estimated for a 7‐year period (2008–2014). Data sources included hourly maps of over‐the‐lake assimilated meteorological data from a validat ...

Tracking Lagrangian transport in Lake Geneva: A 3D numerical modeling investigation

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Andrea Cimatoribus

Lake Geneva, the largest freshwater lake in Western Europe, is subject to important environmental pressures from its densely populated shores and watershed. To maintain and improve water quality in this lake, as well as in other enclosed or semi‐enclosed b ...

Improving surface heat flux estimation for a large lake through model optimization and two-point calibration: The case of Lake Geneva

Ulrich Lemmin, Damien Bouffard, David Andrew Barry, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi, Andrea Cimatoribus

Net Surface Heat Flux (SurHF) was estimated from 2008 to 2014 for Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France), using long‐term temperature depth profiles at two locations, hourly maps of reanalysis meteorological data from a numerical weather model and lake surface w ...

Nonlinear dynamics of the near-shore boundary layer of a large lake (Lake Geneva)

Ulrich Lemmin, Damien Bouffard, David Andrew Barry, Andrea Cimatoribus

We examine near-shore and pelagic current variability in Lake Geneva, a large and deep lake in western Europe, using observations from several measurement locations and a three-dimensional numerical model for the period 2014-2016. Linear internal seiche mo ...

A Procedure to Compensate for the Response Drift of a Large Set of Thermistors

Andrea Cimatoribus

The drift of temperature measurements by semiconductor negative temperature coefficient thermistors is a well-known problem. This study analyzes the drift characteristics of the thermistors designed and used at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Resea ...
