We test a snowdrift-permitting variable resolution snow model at an experimental catchment in the Andes Cordillera of Central chile, and diagnose avenues for further development.
High resolution atmospheric modelling of high-altitude precipitation patterns and dynamics in the Third Pole region.
High resolution WRF model simulations are performed to improve our understanding of high-altitude precipitation patterns, dynamics, and corresponding atmospheric processes in the Third Pole region.
Investigation of landslide and rockfall impact against mitigation structures: a DEM- based study in an irregular mountainous terrain
Analyzing flow kinematics and impact dynamics of granular flow in mountainous terrain with realistic particle shapes within 3D discrete setting for optimizing landslide/ rockfall mitigation structures
Global sublimation estimates at ecosystem monitoring sites across the Northern Hemisphere
We provide the first Northern Hemisphere-scale sublimation estimates, revealing that sublimation-driven water loss can reach up to 15% of annual precipitation at flux tower sites.
Hourly Precipitation Biases and Clausius-Clapeyron Scaling in Convection-Resolving and Convection-Parameterizing Regional Climate Models
Convection-parameterizing regional climate models (RCMs) suffer from temperature-dependent biases, km-scale RCMs are thus better suited for studying future precipitation changes at hourly timescales.
What can we detect using SB-InSAR data? – The slow degradation of Tyrolean mountains.
With respect to two case studies, the advantages and limitations of an additional application of SB-InSAR data to existing monitoring methods, are discussed.
High-Resolution Simulations of Atmosphere-Cryosphere Interactions on Alpine Glaciers Using HICARsnow
This study aims to investigate the thermal wind driven glacier microclimate and its impact on the glacier’s surface energy balance by utilizing HICARsnow.
Innovations and Insights for Resilient Infrastructure in Mountains
This panel explores innovative research shaping resilient mountain infrastructure. CDRI Fellows will discuss practical applications of cutting-edge science to enhance sustainability and disaster resil
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.
