MASCDB, a database of images, descriptors and microphysical properties of individual snowflakes in free fall

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Gionata Ghiggi, Anne-Claire Marie Billault--Roux

Snowfall information at the scale of individual particles is rare, difficult to gather, but fundamental for a better understanding of solid precipitation microphysics. In this article we present a dataset (with dedicated software) of in-situ measurements o ...

Secondary ice production processes in wintertime alpine mixed-phase clouds

Alexis Berne, Athanasios Nenes, Georgia Sotiropoulou, Anne-Claire Marie Billault--Roux, Paraskevi Georgakaki

Observations of orographic mixed-phase clouds (MPCs) have long shown that measured ice crystal number concentrations (ICNCs) can exceed the concentration of ice nucleating particles by orders of magnitude. Additionally, model simulations of alpine clouds a ...

Ice fog observed at cirrus temperatures at Dome C, Antarctic Plateau

Alexis Berne

As the near-surface atmosphere over the Antarctic Plateau is cold and pristine, its physico-chemical conditions resemble to a certain extent those of the high troposphere where cirrus clouds form. In this paper, we carry out an observational analysis of tw ...

Simulated microphysical properties of winter storms from bulk-type microphysics schemes and their evaluation in the Weather Research and Forecasting (v4.1.3) model during the ICE-POP 2018 field campaign

Alexis Berne

This study evaluates the performance of four bulk-type microphysics schemes, Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) double-moment 6-class (WDM6), WRF double-moment 7-class (WDM7), Thompson, and Morrison, focusing on hydrometeors and microphysics budgets in ...

Snowfall in Northern Finland derives mostly from ice clouds

Alexis Berne

Clouds and precipitation play a critical role in the Earth's water cycle and energy budget. We present ground-level observations of snowfall coinciding with radiosonde launches in Sodankyla, Finland (67.367 degrees N, 26.629 degrees E) through a period of ...

On the drivers of droplet variability in Alpine mixed-phase clouds

Alexis Berne, Maxime Hervo, Athanasios Nenes, Jörg Wieder, Paraskevi Georgakaki

Droplet formation provides a direct microphysical link between aerosols and clouds (liquid or mixed-phase), and its adequate description poses a major challenge for any atmospheric model. Observations are critical for evaluating and constraining the proces ...
