DISCHMEX - Observations and simulations of the close-ridge small-scale atmospheric flow field and snow accumulation at Sattelhorn, Dischma valley, Davos, Switzerland.

The data presented here corresponds to the publication "A Close-Ridge Small-Scale Atmospheric Flow Field and its Influence on Snow Accumulation" (Gerber et al., 2017), which investigates an eddy-like structure in the vicinity of the Sattelhorn in the Dischma valley (Davos Switzerland) and its influence on snow accumulation. The dataset contains:

  • Alpine3D: Alpine3D snow depth grids (25 m resolution) for two simulations with and without snow redistribution.
  • ARPS: 10 ARPS simulations (25 m horizontal resolution) with different model setups (wind direction, wind speed, stability).
  • LiDAR: Processed LiDAR PPI (D2_PPI_1h) and RHI (D2_cross_1h) across the valley with a hourly resolution for the period 27 October 2015 01:00 - 29 October 2015c 21:00 (spatial resolution: 25 m).
  • meteostations-dischma: Meteorological station data of two meteorological stations in the Dischma valley with 10 minute resolution for the period 28 October 2015 - 30 October 2015.
  • TLS: Snow depth change data (m) between 28 October 2015 and 30 October 2015 based on terrestrial laser scans.

For more details about the simulation and observation data, see Gerber et al., 2017.
