Modelling Glaciers in the HARMONIE-AROME NWP model

Modelling Glaciers in the HARMONIE-AROME NWP model

HARMONIE-AROME is a convection-permitting non-hydrostatic model that includes the multipurpose SURFEX surface model. It is developed for high resolution (1–3 km) weather forecasting and applied in a number of regions in Europe and the Mediterranean. A version of HARMONIE-AROME is also under development for regional climate modelling. Here we run HARMONIE-AROME for a domain over Greenland that i...

Validation of the NWP Model HRM with Groundbased GPS Data

The atmospheric water vapor is a very important variable for the hydrological cycle and for short term numerical weather prediction. Groundbased GPS data are applied to validate the vertically integrated water vapor (IWV) as derived with the HRM model (High resolution Regional Model) of the German Weather Service (DWD) within the BAL.TEX (Baltic Sea Experiment) region. Data of the PIDCAP period...

Evolution of rock glaciers and alpine glaciers: A model–model approach

The effects of horizontal stress transmission on the transient evolution of non-linear viscous bodies having aspects ratios similar to active alpine rock glaciers is investigated. This is done through a comparison between a shallow-ice model, which predicts material flux to be a local function of thickness and slope, and a finite-element model, which solves the full Stokes problem. For length-t...
