Emissions from the IGP region have drastically affected the Himalayan air quality. Controlling aerosol pollution levels in the IGP is vital to protecting the fragile Himalayan environment.
PFAS in cloud water and snow in alpine regions of Austria
In this study anlaysis of PFAS in cloud water and in snow samples from background regions and are related to available results from literature.
Diurnal energy cycles and net water vapor fluxes in mountain watersheds
This work uses observations in an alpine catchment of snow cover, valley winds, and cloud cover to look feedbacks between alpine catchment hydrology and atmospheric processes.
The response of two inverted tree lines under possible elevational-dependent warming: Southern Sierra Nevada, California USA
A canopy and soil temperature sensor transect across inverted tree line boundaries/cold pools shows a decrease in temperature inversions and intensity over time possibly linked to EDW
A downscaling journey across the Andes: A systematic review from coarse regional models to state-of-the-art machine learning methods and beyond.
We have come a long way in the downscaling pathway. It might be time to consolidate the community, integrate as a region and (…) improve the resilience of our mountainous countries.
Convection-permitting simulation of MCSs over the Tibetan Plateau and downstreams: Insights from the first ensemble run of ‘WY2020’ at K-Scale in CORDEX-FPS-CPTP
This talk will report the performance and key biases of the first ensemble run of K-scale WRF simulation in simulating MCS precipitation characteristics over the Tibetan Plateau and downstreams.
Drought propagation in undisturbed catchments of the Southern Alps of New Zealand
Here we identify trends in hydrological drought and their drivers, including: meteorological drought, changing snow accumulation and ablation, and on to atmospheric circulation variation
Ultrafine particles in Innsbruck – a case study at the Innsbruck Atmospheric Observatory (IAO) in fall 2023
Discussion of potential sources for ultrafine particles in the alpine city of Innsbruck, based on measurements in fall 2023.
Forecasting extreme rainfall in Ecuador’s coastal Andean mountains and Amazon region using Neural Networks.
This study uses neural networks to forecast extreme rainfall in Ecuador’s coastal, inter-Andean, and Amazonian regions, optimizing models for accuracy. The inter-Andean region shows the best performan
Snow Variability Analyses Based on CERRA-Land versus Convection Permitting Climate Simulations in the Upper Euphrates Basin
Snow cover in the Upper Euphrates Basin has declined with earlier snowmelt and a shorter snow season. Future projections indicate further reductions, emphasizing the basin’s increasing vulnerability.
