Blowing snow is a common phenomenon over the Antarctic ice sheet and sea ice regions, playing a crucial role in the Antarctic climate system. Previous research developed an optimized machine learning (ML) model to diagnose blowing snow occurrence usi...
Blowing snow is a common weather phenomenon in Antarctica and plays an important role in the water vapor cycle and ice sheet mass balance. Although it has a significant impact on the climate of Antarctica, people do not know much about this process....
A long-term, consistent dataset of blowing snow (BLSN), a common phenomenon over Antarctica, is essential for ice sheet mass balance analysis. While space-borne lidar missions such as Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observ...
Surface albedo is crucial for the polar energy balance. Blowing snow (BLSN) frequently perturbs coastal Antarctic albedo, yet its specific radiative effects and observability by medium-resolution satellites remain poorly understood. This study combin...
The main objective of this study is to automatically detect real-time snow-related road surface conditions using imagery captured from existing roadside webcams along interstate freeways. Blowing snow is considered one of the most hazardous roadway w...
The frequency and intensity of flood events have been increasing recently under the warming climate, with snowmelt floods being a significant part. As an effective manner of simulating snowmelt flood, snowmelt models have attracted more and more atte...
Snow disasters constitute a major natural hazard in Northwestern China, where heavy snowfall, blowing snow, and avalanches pose significant threats to infrastructure and socioeconomic activities. A scientific assessment of regional snow disaster risk...
Stretching along the border of North Dakota and Minnesota, The Red River Valley (RRV) of the North has the highest frequency of reported blizzards within the contiguous United States. Despite the numerous impacts these events have, few systematic stu...
This study examines the hydrological sensitivity of an agroforested catchment to changes in temperature and precipitation. A physically based hydrological model was created using the Cold Regions Hydrological Modelling platform to simulate the hydrol...
The snow surface is at the interface between the atmosphere and Earth. The surface of the snowpack changes due to its interaction with precipitation, wind, humidity, short- and long-wave radiation, underlying terrain characteristics, and land cover....
Seasonal snow and glaciers in arid mountain regions are essential in sustaining human populations, economic activity, and ecosystems, especially in their role as reservoirs. However, they are threatened by global atmospheric changes, in particular by...
In-situ snow measurements conducted by European institutions for operational, research, and energy business applications were surveyed in the framework of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action ES1404, called “A Europe...
Atmospheric deposition is an important source of heavy metal in soil and the use of dust collection cylinders is a traditional monitoring method. This method has limitations in agricultural areas because polluted soil particles may become resuspended...
Fog and low visibility present a natural hazard for aviation in the Hudson Bay region. Sixteen communities on the eastern and western shores of Hudson and James Bays, Canada, were selected for fog, ice fog, and low visibility statistical analyses for...
This paper presents a comparative study of the distribution of wind pressure acting on a low-rise building roof with or without snowdrift through the Large-Eddy simulation (LES) method. Firstly, based on previous wind-blowing snow experiments, the st...
New observations of anomalously high cloud ice crystal concentrations at the Jungfraujoch research station (Switzerland, 3.5 km a.s.l.) are presented. High-resolution measurements of these ice crystals using a high-speed 2D imaging cloud particle spe...
The aspect of dust accumulation on the surface of photovoltaic (PV) modules should be thoroughly understood in order to minimize possible obstacles affecting energy generation. Several elements affect the amount of pollutant gathered on the surface o...
Observations collected during cold-season precipitation periods at Utquagvik, Alaska and at the multidisciplinary drifting observatory for the study of Arctic climate (MOSAiC) are used to statistically analyze the relations among the atmospheric wate...
This study presents a feature-scale cross-validation of the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) cloud–aerosol discrimination (CAD) products using 9289 globally collocated Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite O...
