Modelling Storage‐Discharge Relationships in an Alpine Basin in the Canadian Rockies
CRHM was used to model storage‐discharge relationships for Fortress Mountain Research Basin, an alpine basin in the Canadian Rockies. The model showed reasonable predictions of snow accumulation, snowmelt, liquid soil moisture, and streamflow, and nonlinear and hysteretic storage‐discharge relationships for this alpine basin.

Nature and climatology of Pfänderwind
The characteristics and climatology of Pfänderwind, a largely unknown downslope windstorm near the town of Bregenz (Austria) at the entrance of the Rhine Valley, are investigated based on an eleven-year dataset of weather station observations and ERA ...

Testing the Strength of Buried Surface Hoar Weak Layers Under Combined Compression and Shear Loading
Abstract We experimentally determined the multiaxial strength of weak layers of buried surface hoar using displacement‐controlled tests under combined normal and shear loading on a custom testing machine. We tested 63 samples from three different weak layers, with strengths ranging from 1 to 10 kPa with considerable scattering. While shear strength was

A global quantification of compound precipitation and wind extremes
The concomitant occurrence of extreme precipitation and winds can have severe impacts. Here this concomitant occurrence is quantified globally using ERA‐Interim reanalysis data.

Turbulent snow transport and accumulation: New reduced‐order models and diagnostics
Our new reduced‐order models of snow particle transport provide high‐fidelity calculations of snow accumulation in turbulent flows at significantly reduced computational costs. Additional accumulation diagnostics from the reduced‐order model predict complex patterns of particle concentration in turbulent boundary layers via coherent flow structures in ...

Upper Ocean Cycling of Iron South of the Polar Front: Biological Patterns and Processes
Abstract Samples from the upper 300 m along the 52°S band, south of the Antarctic Polar Front in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, including a 3‐week monitoring of a persistent bloom, were analyzed to advance our understanding of iron cycling and supply to recurrent phytoplankton blooms.

Routine multiplex mutational profiling of melanomas enables enrollment in genotype-driven therapeutic trials. [PDF]
Knowledge of tumor mutation status is becoming increasingly important for the treatment of cancer, as mutation-specific inhibitors are being developed for clinical use that target only sub-populations of patients with particular tumor genotypes. Melanoma

Aerosol Effect on Orographic Clouds and Its Meteorological Feedback: A Numerical Case Study
We investigate the aerosol effects on orographic clouds and its feedback on the surrounding meteorological environment. The simulations reveals that aerosols perturb the near‐storm thermodynamics via the “indirect microphysical effects”, resulting in lower humidity and higher temperature at lower levels of the lee side.

Tree line dynamics and forest densification in the European Alps revealed by Landsat images and machine learning: a case study in the Senales/Schnals Valley [PDF]
The alpine tree line represents one of the most climate-sensitive ecological boundaries, where multiple interacting factors determine vegetation distribution at its upper limit. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of the tree line in the

Late Cenozoic silty and sandy sediments in the semi‐arid Mackenzie basin have been eroded and redeposited almost entirely from nearby Mesozoic greywacke basement. Fine (commonly micron scale) phyllosilicate flakes, including clays, are randomly distributed and randomly oriented, and the sediments are porous.
