    Microphysics and dynamics of snowfall associated with a warm conveyor belt over Korea

    Gehring, Josué ; Oertel, Annika ; Vignon, Étienne ; Jullien, Nicolas ; Besic, Nikola ; Berne, Alexis

    In: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020, vol. 20, no. 12, p. 7373–7392

    On 28 February 2018, 57 mm of precipitation associated with a warm conveyor belt (WCB) fell within 21 h over South Korea. To investigate how the large-scale circulation influenced the microphysics of this intense precipitation event, we used radar measurements, snowflake photographs and radiosounding data from the International Collaborative Experiments for Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic and...

    Synoptic conditions and atmospheric moisture pathways associated with virga and precipitation over coastal Adélie Land in Antarctica

    Jullien, Nicolas ; Vignon, Étienne ; Sprenger, Michael ; Aemisegger, Franziska ; Berne, Alexis

    In: The Cryosphere, 2020, vol. 14, no. 5, p. 1685–1702

    Precipitation falling over the coastal regions of Antarctica often experiences low-level sublimation within the dry katabatic layer. The amount of water that reaches the ground surface is thereby considerably reduced. This paper investigates the synoptic conditions and the atmospheric transport pathways of moisture that lead to either virga – when precipitation is completely sublimated –...
