A new concept for estimating the influence of vegetation on throughfall kinetic energy using aerial laser scanning
; ; ; ; Schmidtlein, Sebastian (Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2020-02-17)
Soil loss caused by erosion has enormous economic and social impacts. Splash effects of rainfall are an important driver of erosion processes; however, effects of vegetation on splash erosion are still not fully understood. ... -
Californian Wildfire Smoke Over Europe: A First Example of the Aerosol Observing Capabilities of Aeolus Compared to Ground‐Based Lidar
; ; ; ; ; ; ; Flament, Thomas; ; Trapon, Dimitri; ; Bley, Sebastian; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-04-28)
In September 2020, extremely strong wildfires in the western United States of America (i.e., mainly in California) produced large amounts of smoke, which was lifted into the free troposphere. These biomass‐burning‐aerosol ... -
Characterization and Evolution of Organized Shallow Convection in the Downstream North Atlantic Trades
; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021-08-26)
Four previously identified patterns of meso‐scale cloud organization in the trades — called Sugar, Gravel, Flowers, and Fish — are studied using long‐term records of ground‐based measurements, satellite observations and ... -
Contextualizing land‐use and land‐cover change with local knowledge: A case study from Pokot Central, Kenya
Petersen, Maike; Bergmann, Christoph; Roden, Paul; (Land Degradation & Development, 2021-05-12)
Rural communities in the drylands of sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) derive their livelihoods primarily from their natural resource base. Unprecedented changes in these environments over the past few decades are likely to intensify ... -
Critical Soil Moisture Derived From Satellite Observations Over Europe
; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2020)
Evapotranspiration (ET) is a crucial quantity through which land surface conditions can impact near-surface weather and vice versa. ET can be limited by energy or water availability. The transition between water- and ... -
Digitale Datenerfassung zur Flächenverwaltung von Mooren mit Georadar und Photogrammetrie
(TELMA - Berichte der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Moor- und Torfkunde; Band 37; 2007)Abstract: The methods of Ground Penetrating Radar and Photogrammetry are both excellent instruments for digital data collection. Ground Penetrating Radar in use on site with GPS-measurement delivers high definition digital ... -
Hyperspectral outcrop models for palaeoseismic studies
(The Photogrammetric Record, 2019)The traditional study of palaeoseismic trenches, involving logging, stratigraphic and structural interpretation, can be time consuming and affected by biases and inaccuracies. To overcome these limitations, a new workflow ... -
Imaging the Absorbing Feeding and Eruptive Pathways of Deception Island, Antarctica
; ; ; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2022-10-04)
Deception Island is one of the most active and best‐documented volcanoes in Antarctica. Since its last eruption in 1970, several geophysical surveys have targeted reconstructing its magmatic systems. However, geophysics ... -
Linking Large‐Eddy Simulations to Local Cloud Observations
; ; ; ; Moseley, Christopher; (Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020-12-05)
In order to enhance our understanding of clouds and their microphysical processes, it is crucial to exploit both observations and models. Local observations from ground‐based remote sensing sites provide detailed information ... -
Melting Behavior of Rimed and Unrimed Snowflakes Investigated With Statistics of Triple‐Frequency Doppler Radar Observations
; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022-05-04)
Comparing the reflectivity flux at the top and bottom of the melting layer (ML) reveals the overall effect of the microphysical processes occurring within the ML on the particle population. If melting is the only process ... -
Modeling the Microwave Emission of Snow on Arctic Sea Ice for Estimating the Uncertainty of Satellite Retrievals
; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020)
Within a rapidly changing Arctic climate system, snow on sea ice is an important climate parameter. A common method to derive snow depth on an Arctic-wide scale is based on passive microwave satellite observations. However, ... -
Multiple Angle Observations Would Benefit Visible Band Remote Sensing Using Night Lights
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022-06-22)
The spatial and angular emission patterns of artificial and natural light emitted, scattered, and reflected from the Earth at night are far more complex than those for scattered and reflected solar radiation during daytime. ... -
Rock Glacier Characteristics Under Semiarid Climate Conditions in the Western Nyainqêntanglha Range, Tibetan Plateau
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2022-01-07)
Rock glaciers are receiving increased attention as a potential source of water and indicator of climate change in periglacial landscapes. They consist of an ice‐debris mixture, which creeps downslope. Although rock glaciers ... -
Size–frequency distribution of shallow landslides in the Black Forest, Germany
;; ; (Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021-10-09)
Landslides are a major hazard in mountainous regions, represent a threat to human life, and cause substantial economic costs. While some landslide hazard assessments, including hazards maps, are available for Germany, their ... -
Spatio‐temporal patterns in degradation and restoration of gravel bars along Alpine rivers
; ; ; (River Research and Applications, 2022-01-05)
Braided reaches were common along near‐natural Alpine rivers, and the associated habitat dynamics supported plant and animal species specialized on early‐successional stages. The extensive riparian zones could mitigate ... -
Tillage erosion as an important driver of in‐field biomass patterns in an intensively used hummocky landscape
; ; ; ; ; (Land Degradation & Development, 2021-05-07)
Tillage erosion causes substantial soil redistribution that can exceed water erosion especially in hummocky landscapes under highly mechanized large field agriculture. Consequently, truncated soil profiles can be found on ...
