Journal ArticleDOI
A gridded dataset of hourly precipitation in Germany: Its construction, climatology and application
TL;DR: In this paper, a disaggregation technique is used to combine daily rain gauge measurements and hourly radar composites in order to produce a dataset of hourly precipitation in Germany on a grid with a horizontal resolution of 7 km for the years 2001-2004.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of barotropic shear on upper-level induced cyclogenesis : Semigeostrophic and primitive equation numerical simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of barotropic shear on upper-level induced cyclogenesis was studied using idealized numerical experiments within the frameworks of semigeostrophic and primitive equation dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal cycles and variability of O 3 and H 2 O in the UT/LMS during SPURT
M. Krebsbach,Cornelius Schiller,D. Brunner,Gebhard Günther,Michaela I. Hegglin,D. Mottaghy,Martin Riese,Nicole Spelten,Heini Wernli +8 more
TL;DR: The SPURT project as mentioned in this paper provides an extensive data cov- erage of the upper troposphere and the lowermost strato- sphere in each season within the time period between November 2001 and July 2003.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Linkage between the Warm and the Cold Conveyor Belts in an Idealized Extratropical Cyclone
Sebastian Schemm,Heini Wernli +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the cold conveyor belt (CCB) is identified as a coherent bundle of trajectories, characterized by weak ascent and a strong increase of potential vorticity along the flow, in contrast to the WCB trajectories with maximum ascent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of nitrogen oxides at the tropopause: Attribution to convection and correlation with lightning
Dominique P. Jeker,Leonhard Pfister,Anne M. Thompson,Dominik Brunner,Dennis J. Boccippio,Kenneth E. Pickering,Heini Wernli,Yutaka Kondo,Johannes Staehelin +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the origin of large-scale NOx plumes using back trajectories, satellite infrared images, and lightning observations from the U.S National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) and the Optical Transient Detector (OTD) satellite instrument.
