An opportunity index to anticipate when subseasonal predictions are useful

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Simultaneously active subseasonal windows of forecast opportunity can be combined into a single opportunity index, which can be used operationally to anticipate enhanced or reduced subseasonal prediction skill. For predictions of temperature anomalies in Switzerland during summer—a region and season with particularly low predictability—skill can nearly

THE FOREDEEPS OF THE NORTHERN ADRIATIC MARGIN: EVIDENCE OF DIACHRONEITY IN DEFORMATION OF THE SOUTHERN ALPS

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2017
The evolution of the foredeeps which developed on the northern Adriatic foreland took piace in a regime of oblique convergence. From the Late Oligocene onwards much compression in the Southern Alps must have been the compressional component of dextral ...

The Little Ice Age climate of New Zealand reconstructed from Southern Alps cirque glaciers: a synoptic type approach

Climate Dynamics, 2013
Little Ice Age (LIA) austral summer temperature anomalies were derived from palaeoequilibrium line altitudes at 22 cirque glacier sites across the Southern Alps of New Zealand.

NowPrecip 2: Precipitation nowcasting in the complex terrain of Switzerland. Part II: Verification

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In this work we present the verification of the NowPrecip precipitation nowcasting systems (version 1 and version 2). Using 3.5 years of data over the period 2020–2023, their performance is compared with PySTEPS and the ICON numerical weather prediction ensemble by computing deterministic and probabilistic metrics.

Mesozoic stratigraphy of Dinaric successions at the Dinarides – Southern Alps boundary, Sava Folds region, Slovenia

Geologija
In central Slovenia, on the border between Southern Alpine derived units and Dinaric units in the northern part of the Sava Folds, detailed field observations and reambulation-type mapping were conducted. The research aimed to clarify the distribution of

Numerical simulation of mesoscale structures in the northern alpine foreland during front passages: A precipitating cold front without pre-frontal foehn

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 1993
Supplementing a previous study of a dry cold front with pre-frontal foehn (Heimann 1992c) this paper documents the numerical simulation of a precipitating cold front approaching the Alps from northwest without pre-frontal foehn.

The benefits of a hybrid‐3DEnVar data assimilation scheme for the convection‐permitting NWP model AROME–Austria

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The climatological‐error covariance matrix used in three‐dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVar) provides smooth and isotropic increments spread to long distances. In contrast, three‐dimensional ensemble variational data assimilation (3DEnVar) with a purely ensemble‐error covariance matrix provides inhomogeneous increments and contains the ...

Observations and numerical simulations of a valley‐exit wind in the Alpine Bolzano basin

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The evolution and spreading of the nocturnal valley‐exit wind flowing from the Isarco Valley into the Bolzano basin, in the Italian Alps, are found to be influenced by the basin temperature stratification. Measurements and high‐resolution simulations show that a cold‐air pool favors an upward trajectory of the flow at the exit of the valley.

A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)
