WRF-based dynamical downscaling over High Mountain Asia

2022
Hochasien (engl. High Mountain Asia, HMA) ist eine gebirgige Region, die das Tibetische Plateau (TP) und die umliegenden Gebirgsketten umfasst. Aufgrund der einzigartigen klimatischen und tektonischen Gegebenheiten ist die HMA-Region sehr anfällig für Naturgefahren wie Erdrutsche und Gletscherseeausbrüche (engl. Glacier Lake Outburst Floods, GLOFs). Im

Dynamic glaciers improve LGM simulation in High Mountain Asia

2022
<p>Glaciers on Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding areas were much more extensive during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) when global mean temperature was 5-8 K lower than today. Accurately reconstructing glaciers on and around Tibetan Plateau remains vital towards understanding glaciers’ sensitivity against climate change, and ...

Dust dominates high-altitude snow darkening and melt over high-mountain Asia

Nature Climate Change, 2020
Westerly driven, long-range transportation of dust particles in elevated aerosol layers (EALs) is a persistent phenomenon during spring and summer over the Indian subcontinent. During the snow accumulation season, EALs transport substantial amounts of dust to the snow-covered slopes of high-mountain Asia (HMA).

Anticipating future ice-dammed lakes across High Mountain Asia

2022
<p>Over recent decades, a significant increase in the amount and the size of glacier lakes has been observed. These lakes enhance glacier mass loss but also present societal hazard as they may retain large volumes of water. When large lakes drain, the downstream valleys can severely be impacted by the resulting glacial lake outburst ...

Rising Lake Levels Across High Mountain Asia

High-altitude lakes across High Mountain Asia (HMA) are one of the critical freshwater reservoirs and sensitive indicators of climate change due to their remote locations and limited human disturbances. However, the ongoing climate change and enhanced glacier melt represent a substantial risk of outburst floods.

Decreasing trends of mean and extreme snowfall in High Mountain Asia.

Science of The Total Environment
Intense warming profoundly alters precipitation phase patterns and intensity in High Mountain Asia (HMA). While snowfall climatology and precipitation extremes have been studied, there is a lack of understanding of snowfall extremes within HMA. Here, we investigate the spatial and temporal variability of non-extreme and extreme snowfall in hydrological

Remote Detection of Surging Glaciers Across High Mountain Asia

2020
High Mountain Asia (HMA) hosts the largest glacier concentration outside of polar regions. This region also represents the second major surge cluster, globally. Despite numerous sub-regional and individual glacier – scale studies of surging, our understanding of this phenomenon remains largely ambiguous.

Downscaling precipitation over High-mountain Asia using multi-fidelity Gaussian processes: improved estimates from ERA5

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
. The rivers of High-mountain Asia provide freshwater to around 1.9 billion people. However, precipitation, the main driver of river flow, is still poorly understood due to limited in situ measurements in this area.

Glacial and Tectonic Mass Transportation in High Mountain Asia

2019
Nearly each part of the HMA glaciers develops in its own individual features. For instance, glaciers on the TP are generally of three different types and are controlled by diverse factors.
