Detection of Entrainment Influences on Surface-Layer Measurements and Extension of Monin–Obukhov Similarity Theory
We present a method to detect influences of boundary-layer processes on surface-layer measurements, using statistics and spectra of surface-layer variables only. We validated our detection method with boundary...

Disaggregation of screen-level variables in a numerical weather prediction model with an explicit simulation of subgrid-scale land-surface heterogeneity
The earth’s surface is characterized by small-scale heterogeneity attributable to variability in land cover, soil characteristics and orography. In atmospheric models, this small-scale variability can be parti...

Climatic conditions and their impact on viticulture in the Upper Moselle region
Climate parameters, especially temperature, sunlight, and precipitation, play a decisive role in growing and maturing processes. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between climate variabi...

An integrated approach for the determination of regionale vapotranspiration using mesoscale modelling, remote sensing and boundary layer measurements
A method is presented for the calculation of regional evapotranspiration by means of mesoscale modelling using the “Lokal-Modell” (LM) of the German Weather service with 2.8 km horizontal resolution. The shor...

Retrieval of Precipitation from Satellites
For land areas, precipitation is one of the most important processes for the biosphere, including mankind. For the oceans, precipitation is a source for freshwater and thus an important forcing term for the th...

Remote sensing of cloud liquid water
A method is presented to infer cloud liquid water path (LWP in kg/m2) over the ocean from passive microwave measurements of SSM/I. The algorithm to retrieve LWP is based on simulated satellite observations. They ...
