A full week of Bise and great measurement conditions
Last week the long awaited North-Easterly winds (Bise) made their appearance, bringing with them cold temperatures, snow and most relevant for us also high fog. After initially too much snow fall to conduct measurements we got several days of great conditions.
Preprint "Evaluating the Wegener-Bergeron-Findeisen process in ICON in large-eddy mode with in situ observations from the CLOUDLAB project"
A new preprint from CLOUDLAB is available at the EGUsphere that investigates the Wegener-Bergeron-Findeisen process in ICON-LES and compares it with the in-situ measurements.
Preprint "IceDetectNet: A rotated object detection algorithm for classifying components of aggregated ice crystals with a multi-label classification scheme"
A new preprint from CLOUDLAB is available at the EGUsphere that introduces IceDetectNet, a neural network to classifiy not only shape/habit but also microphysical processes of ice crystals.
Installation of an X band radar and other devices from the EPFL research group around Alexis Berne
All in all, it's not just another radar on the hill. Both radar and cameras further extend the range of our observations.
