White and wonderful? Microplastics prevail in snow from the Alps to the Arctic

open access: yesScience Advances, 2019
We detect microplastics in European and Arctic snow, highlighting the importance of atmospheric transport as a pathway. Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous, and considerable quantities prevail even in the Arctic; however, there are large knowledge gaps ...

Interannual climate variability improves niche estimates for ectothermic but not endothermic species

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Climate is an important limiting factor of species’ niches and it is therefore regularly included in ecological applications such as species distribution models (SDMs).

Health and sustainability of glaciers in High Mountain Asia

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Glaciers in High Mountain Asia are a key water resource. The authors use remote sensing data and a regional implementation of the continuity equation to quantify glacier ablation and accumulation rates for 2000–2016, and establish current climatic ...

Bulk Parameterization of the Snow Field in a Cloud Model

open access: yes, 1983
A two-dimensional, time-dependent cloud model has been used to simulate a moderate intensity thunderstorm for the High Plains region. Six forms of water substance (water vapor, cloud water, cloud ice, rain, snow and hail, i.e., graupel) are simulated ...

Observed snow depth trends in the European Alps: 1971 to 2019

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2020
. The European Alps stretch over a range of climate zones which affect the spatial distribution of snow. Previous analyses of station observations of snow were confined to regional analyses. Here, we present an Alpine-wide analysis of snow depth from six

Explicit Forecasts of Winter Precipitation Using an Improved Bulk Microphysics Scheme. Part II: Implementation of a New Snow Parameterization

open access: yes, 2008
A new bulk microphysical parameterization (BMP) has been developed for use with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model or other mesoscale models.

The relevance of rock shape over mass—implications for rockfall hazard assessments

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The awareness of rock shape dependence in rockfall hazard assessment is growing, but experimental and field studies are scarce. This study presents a large data set of induced single block rockfall events quantifying the influence of rock shape and mass ...
