This study focuses on the impact of climate change and environmental degradation on the stability and biodiversity of the Western Ghats Mountain and its forests and analyses the related policies.
Validation of ICON-LES from HEFEX II field campaign observations
Data from HEFEXII (2023) campaign validated high-res ICON-LES models, improving simulation accuracy of atmosphere-glacier interactions. Results outline strengths and limitations of numerical modeling.
Unravelling the performance of atmospheric radiative transfer schemes in the simulation of mean surface climate in Central Africa using the RegCM5 climate model
The theory of radiative transfer is essential for studying climate. This research evaluates the capability of the RegCM5 model to reproduce radiative transfer in Central Africa over a ten-year period.
Snow-eater heatwaves of western North America
Snow-eater heatwaves have been less studied than rain-on-snow events, yet have the potential to increase in area, duration, frequency, and/or intensity in a rapidly changing climate.
Revisiting Observed Elevation-Dependent Warming in Switzerland
Increased autumn/winter sunshine duration on the Swiss Plateau and spring snow-albedo feedback are key drivers of the elevational differences in Switzerland’s warming over the past 75 years.
Reasons for the Summer Precipitation Variability in the Central-Eastern Himalayas
The abnormal circulation in Indian subcontinent due to the summer North Atlantic Oscillation (SNAO) has driven a positive summer precipitation in the the Central-Eastern Himalayas
The Role of Renewable Energy Sources in Combating Climate Change in the Caucasus Mountains
This study explores renewable energy’s role in mitigating climate change in the Caucasus Mountains by assessing the potential of solar, wind, and hydropower systems to enhance regional energy
Using novel lake-based snowfall measurements in the Alps, Himalayas and Rockies to assess and optimise the representation of snowfall in the MetUM regional atmospheric model at kilometre grid-scales
Snowfall prediction by regional climate models is challenging. This study optimizes the UK Met Office Unified Model using novel lake-based snowfall measurements from the Alps, Himalayas and Rockies.
Future Elevation-Dependent Climate Changes in the European Alps and Possible Links with Surface Temperature: Insights from the EURO-CORDEX Ensemble
Elevation-dependent changes in 19 climate variables across the European Alps, analyzed with EURO-CORDEX, show strong winter and spring patterns, especially for temperature and specific humidity.
