de: Mit der Festlegung des Gewässerraums an den oberirdischen Gewässern soll der Raum gesichert werden, welcher nötig ist zur Gewährleistung der natürlichen Funktionen der Gewässer, des Hochwasserschutzes und der Gewässernutzung. Die Gewässerschutzverordnung des Bundes (GSchV) legt dazu konkrete Masse fest, wie gross der Gewässerraum mindestens sein muss (Art. 41a und 41b GSchV). Der Gewässerraum muss dort erhöht werden, wo dies zur Gewährleistung für den Hochwasserschutz, der Revitalisierung, sowie bei überwiegenden Interessen des Natur- und Landschaftsschutzes und der Gewässernutzung erforderlich ist. Im Gewässerraum dürfen nur standortgebundene, im öffentlichen Interesse liegende Bauten und Anlagen erstellt werden. In dicht überbauten Gebieten kann der Gewässerraum den baulichen Gegebenheiten angepasst werden, soweit der Schutz vor Hochwasser gewährleistet ist, bzw. kann die Behörde für zonenkonforme Bauten und Anlagen Ausnahmen bewilligen, sofern keine überwiegenden Interessen entgegenstehen. Rechtmässig erstellte und bestimmungsgemäss nutzbare Bauten und Anlagen im Gewässerraum sind in ihrem Bestand grundsätzlich geschützt. Der Gewässerraum darf nur extensiv gestaltet und bewirtschaftet werden (Art. 41 c GschV) Solange der Gewässerraum nicht festgelegt ist, regeln die Übergangsbestimmungen der GSchV direkt und grundeigentümerverbindlich die Bemessung der von Bauten und Anlagen freizuhaltenden Uferstreifen. Der Gewässerabstand von 5 Meter gemäss § 21 des kantonalen Wasserwirtschaftsgesetzes (WWG), behält bis zu einer allfälligen Anpassung des WWG auch mit der Festlegung des Gewässerraums weiterhin Gültigkeit. Nach der Ersterfassung werden die Daten in den ÖREB-Kataster überführt.

en:
Ecologically meaningful predictors are often neglected in plant distribution studies, resulting in incomplete niche quantification and low predictive power of species distribution models (SDMs). Because environmental data are rare and expensive to collect, and because their relationship with local climatic and topographic conditions are complex, mapping them over large geographic extents and at high spatial resolution remains a major challenge. Here, we derived environmental data layers by mapping ecological indicator values (EIVs) in space by using a large set of environmental predictors in Switzerland.

This dataset contains the predictors (raster layers) generated and used in the following publication (Descombes et al. 2020). Only predictors for which we have the rights to share them are provided. Other datasets and predictors can be accessed via the original data provider. Details on the predictors and sources are fully described in the publication. The predictors are provided as GeoTIFF files, at 93 m spatial resolution and Mercator projection ("+proj=merc +lon_0=0 +k=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs"). The excel file (xlsx) provides a short description of the raster layers.

en: We developed a map of cropland and grassland allocation for Switzerland based on several indices dominantly derived from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery captured over multiple growing seasons. The classification model was trained based on parcel-based data derived from landholder reporting. The mapping was conducted on Google Earth Engine platform using random forest classifier. Areas of high vegetation, shrubland, sealed surface and non-vegetated areas were masked out from the country-wide map. The resulting map has high accuracy in lowlands as well as mountainous areas.

en:
Preferential deposition of snow and dust over complex terrain is responsible for a wide range of environmental processes, and accounts for a significant source of uncertainty in surface mass balances of cold and arid regions. Despite the growing body of literature on the subject, previous studies reported contradictory results on the location and magnitude of deposition maxima and minima. This study aims at unraveling the governing processes of preferential deposition in neutrally stable atmosphere and to reconcile seemingly inconsistent results of previous works. For this purpose, a comprehensive modeling approach is developed, based on large eddy simulations of the turbulent airflow, Lagrangian stochastic model of particle trajectories, and immersed-boundary method to represent the underlying topography. The model performance is tested against wind tunnel measurements of dust deposition around isolated and sequential hills. A scale analysis is then performed to investigate the dependence of snowfall deposition on the particle Froude and Stokes numbers, which fully account for the governing processes of inertia, flow advection, and gravity. Additional simulations are performed, to test whether the often used assumption of inertialess particles yields accurate deposition patterns. We finally show that our scale analysis provides qualitatively similar results for hills with different aspect ratios.

This dataset contains the results of the LES-LSM model. Each Matlab file contains a 2D array of deposition values (in kg/m2) in each surface node (ix, iy) of the Cartesian grid. The file names are consistent with the simulation numbers listed in the original paper.

This database contains 1957 distribution maps of species from Fagales and Pinales constructed based on a method integrating polygon mapping and SDMs (Lyu et al., 2022).
To construct the maps, we first collected occurrence data from 48 different sources. According to the number of occurrences after data cleaning, three kinds of maps are constructed: (1) For species with more than 20 occurrences, we performed SDM and polygon mapping described in Lyu et al. (2022) and select the integration of the two layers as the distribution range; (2) For species with more than 4 but less than 20 occurrences, we only use polygon mapping to draw the distribution range; (3) For species with less than 4 occurrences, a 20-km buffer was generated around the occurrences as the distribution range. The maps were manually checked and evaluated (see Note S3 and Table S9 in Lyu et al., 2022 for details).

en: This report was prepared as one of the synthesis report chapters of the Hydro-CH2018 project of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). In earlier reports such as the CH2014-IMPACTS report (CH-Impacts 2014), the topic of mountain permafrost hydrology was not addressed. Here, we provide a baseline of the available knowledge of mountain permafrost in the Swiss Alps for future reference. We compile an overview of the current understanding of mountain permafrost in the Swiss Alps, its distribution and characteristics, observed and projected changes, and expected impacts on slope stability, infrastructure and hydrological aspects. We also briefly describe the measurement techniques and modelling approaches applied. The chapter closes with a summary of the most important open research questions. The literature cited mainly includes studies on mountain permafrost published in scientific journals and assessments of long-term observation data. We focus on permafrost hydrology interactions wherever information is available. However, systematic studies on permafrost hydrology in mountain areas are still limited.

en: Backward Trajectories

en: The trajectories are started from surface up to 5000 m altitude, with an equidistant vertical spacing of 200 m, and calculated 120 h backward in time. As long as the trajectories stay in the COSMO1 domain (essentially the Alpine region), as run operationally at MeteoSwiss, the COSMO analysis wind fields are used. When the trajectories leave this domain, they are extended further backward in time based on ECMWF analysis data. The following fields are traced along the trajectories: longitude, latitude, geopotential height, pressure, specific humidity, temperature and surface topography. Furthermore, it is indicated for each trajectory time instance on which model data, COSMO or ECMWF, the trajectory time is based. Finally, the trajectories are started every hour in the specified time period, and positions and fields are available every 10 min. Each day is saved as a separate file. The last 8 digits of the file names indicate the starting date of the trajectories.

en: Backward trajectories were calculated from two positions: Davos Wolfgang (LON: 9.85361, LAT: 46.83551) and Weissfluhjoch (LON: 9.80646 LAT: 46.83304) for the time period February 2 until March 27 2019 using COSMO or ECMWF, respectively.

en: Global extented set of bioclimatic variables at different temporal (e.g. monthly, annual, long term normals) resolution in Geotiff format.

en: A multitude of physical and biological processes on which ecosystems and human societies depend are governed by climatic conditions. Understanding how these processes are altered by climate change is central to mitigation efforts. Based on mechanistically downscaled climate data, we developed a set of climate-related variables at yet unprecedented spatiotemporal detail as a basis for environmental and ecological analyses. We created gridded data for near-surface relative humidity (hurs), cloud area fraction (clt), near-surface wind speed (sfcWind), vapour pressure deficit (vpd), surface downwelling shortwave radiation (rsds), potential evapotranspiration (pet), climate moisture index (cmi), and site water balance (swb), at a monthly temporal and 30 arcsec spatial resolution globally starting 1980 until 2018. At the same spatial resolution, we further estimated climatological normals of frost change frequency (fcf), snow cover days (scd), potential net primary productivity (npp), growing degree days (gdd), and growing season characteristics for the periods 1981-2010, 2011-2040, 2041-2070, and 2071-2100, considering three shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP126, SSP370, SSP585) and five Earth system models. Time-series variables showed high accuracy when validated against observations from meteorological stations. Climatological normals were also highly correlated to observations although some variables showed notable biases, e.g., snow cover days (scd). Together, the data sets presented here allow improving our understanding of patterns and processes that are governed by climate, including the impact of recent and future climate changes on the world’s ecosystems and associated services to societies.

en: Earth’s snow cover is very dynamic on diurnal time scales. The changes to the snow structure during this metamorphism have wide ranging impacts such as on avalanche formation and on the capacity of surface snow to exchange trace gases with the atmosphere. Here, we investigate the influence of dry metamorphism, which involves fluxes of water vapor, on the chemical reactivity of bromide in the snow. For this, the heterogeneous reactive loss of ozone at a concentration of 5-6E12 molecules cm-3 is investigated in artificial, shock-frozen snow samples doped with 6.2 uM sodium bromide and with varying metamorphism history. The oxidation of bromide in snow is one reaction initiating polar bromine releases and ozone depletions.

In the canton of Aargau, hundreds of new ponds have been constructed since the 1990s to benefit declining amphibian populations. This dataset consists of monitoring data for all 12 pond-breeding amphibian species in the canton of Aargau from 1999 to 2019 in 856 ponds, and environmental variables that describe the ponds and the landscape surrounding the ponds. Species observation data is detection/non-detection data from repeat visits during survey years, during which all potentially suitable ponds in an area were surveyed. Environmental variables describing the ponds are whether the pond has been newly constructed since 1991 or not, pond age (if constructed), elevation a.s.l., the water surface area, and whether the water table fluctuates or not. Environmental variables describing the surroundings of the ponds are the percent area of forest within a circular buffer of radius 100m around the pond, the area of large (width ≥6m) roads within a circular buffer of radius 1km around the pond, and structural connectivity.

The canton of Aargau is the owner of the monitoring data; the original datafile is only disclosed upon request and in consultation with the canton of Aargau.

The edited dataset contains cleaned observation data for the 12 amphibian species, as well as compiled and edited covariate data and code to fit dynamic occupancy models.

The data presented here corresponds to the publication "Spatial variability in snow precipitation and accumulation in COSMO-WRF simulations and radar estimations over complex terrain" (Gerber et al., 2018a), which investigates the precipitation variability of snow precipitation in the central northern part of the Grisons (CH) and the publication "The importance of near-surface winter precipitation processes in complex alpine terrain" (Gerber et al., 2018b). The dataset contains:

* WRFsimulations: WRF simulation output for simulations with 4x (14x) terrain smoothing with an output timestep of 30 min/5 min and horizontal grid spacings of 1350 m, 450 m, 150 m and 50 m (currently: data available upon request).
* StationData: Meteorological station data of 18 meteorological stations in the central northern part of the Grisons with 30 minute resolution for the period 1 January 2016 till 1 May 2016.
* ADS80data: Photogrammetrically determined snow depth distribution data over the Dischma valley for the 26 January 2016 and 9 March 2016. Snow heights are corrected for buildings, vegetation (> 1m), outliers, and pixles, which are obivously snow-free on the pictures (Bühler et al., 2015). In addition the snow depth differences (snow depth on 9 March 2016 minus snow depth on 26 January 2016) are provided.

1. General context of the data set "lsUDPs"
The data set "lsUDPs" has been generated as part of the CONCUR research project (https://www.wsl.ch/en/projects/concur.html) led by Dr. Anna M. Hersperger and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (ERC TBS Consolidator Grant (ID: BSCGIO 157789) for the period 2016-2020. The CONCUR research project is interdisciplinary and aims to develop a scientific basis for adequately integrating spatial policies (in this case, strategic spatial plans) into quantitative land-change modelling approaches at the urban regional level. The first stage (2016-2017) of the CONCUR project focussed on 21 urban regions in Western Europe. The urban regions were selected through a multi-stage strategy for empirical research (see Hersperger, A. M., Grădinaru, S., Oliveira, E., Pagliarin, S., & Palka, G. (2019). Understanding strategic spatial planning to effectively guide development of urban regions. Cities, 94, 96–105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2019.05.032 ).

2. Background and aims of the study using the data set lsUDPs
As part of the CONCUR project, a specific task was to examine the relationship between strategic spatial plans and the formulation and implementation (i.e. urban land change) of large-scale urban development projects in Western Europe.
Strategic urban projects are typically large-scale, prominent urban transformations implemented locally with the aim to stimulate urban growth, for instance in the form of urban renewals of deprived neighborhoods, waterfront renewals and transport infrastructures. While strategic urban projects are referred to in the literature with multiple terms, in the CONCOR project we call them large-scale urban development projects (lsUDPs).
Previous studies acknowledged both local and supra-local (or structural) factors impacting the context-specific implementation of lsUDPs. Local governance factors, such as institutional capacity, coordination among public and private actors and political leadership, intertwine with supra-local conditions, such as state re-scaling processes and devolution of state competencies in spatial planning, de-industrialisation and increasing social inequality. Hence, in implementing lsUDPs, multi-scalar factors act in combination.
Because the formulation and implementation of lsUDPs require multi-scalar coordination among coalitions of public and private actors over an extended period of time, they are generally linked to strategic spatial plans (SSPs). Strategic spatial plans convey collective visions and horizons of action negotiated among public and private actors at the local and/or regional level to steer future urban development, and can contain legally binding dispositions, but also indicative guidelines.
The key question remains as to what extent large-scale urban development projects and strategic spatial plans can be regarded as aligned. By alignment, or “concordance”, we mean that strategic projects are formulated and implemented as part of the strategic planning process (“high concordance”), or that the strategic role of projects is reconfirmed in (subsequent) strategic plans (“moderate concordance”). Lack of concordance is found when lsUDPs have been limitedly (or not at all) acknowledged in strategic spatial plans.
We assume that certain local and supra-local factors, characterising the development of the projects, foster (but not strictly “cause”) the degree of alignment between lsUPDs and SSPs. In this study, we empirically examine how, and to what extent, the concordance between 38 European large-scale urban development projects and strategic plans (outcome: CONCOR) has been enabled by five multi-scalar factors (or conditions): (i) the role of the national state (STATE), (ii) the role of (inter)national private actors (PRIVATE), (iii) the occurrence of supra-regional external events (EVENTS), (iv) the degree of transport connectivity (TRANSP), and (v) local resistance from civil society (RESIST). We adopted a (multi-data) case-based qualitative strategy for empirical research and applied the formalised procedure of within- and cross-case comparison offered by fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis appropriate for the goal of this study. Based on set theory, QCA formally integrates contextual sensitivity to case specificities (within-case knowledge) with systematic comparative analysis (across-case knowledge).
The research question the data set has been created to reply to is the following: which conditions, and combinations of conditions, enable the concordance between large-scale urban development projects and strategic spatial plans?
The conditions (“independent variables”) considered are. STATE: the set of large-scale urban projects characterized by a high degree of state intervention and support in their formulation and implementation, PRIVATE: the set of large-scale urban projects characterized by a high degree of involvement of (inter)national private actors in their formulation and implementation, EVENTS: the set of large-scale strategic projects whose formulation and implementation have been strongly affected by unforeseen international events and/or global trends, TRANSP: the set of large-scale strategic projects with a high degree of road and/or transit connectivity, and RESIST: set of large-scale strategic projects whose realization has been characterized by resistances that have substantially delayed or modified the project implementation.
The outcome (“dependent variable”) under analysis is CONCOR: the set of large-scale urban projects having a high degree of concordance/alignment/integration with strategic spatial plans

3. The data set lsUDPs

   3.1 Selection of cases and data collection
To generate the current data set on large-scale urban development projects in European urban regions (data set "lsUDPs"), we identified 35 large-scale urban development projects in a sample of the 21 Western urban regions considered in the CONCUR project (see supra, Hersperger et al. 2019): Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Lyon, Manchester, Milan, Stockholm, Stuttgart. The criteria we followed to identify the 35 large-scale urban development projects are: geographical location, size (large-scale), site (located either in the city core or in the larger urban region) and urban function (e.g. housing, transportation infrastructures, service and knowledge economic functions). Employing these criteria facilitated the selection of diverse large-scale urban development projects while still ensuring sufficient comparability.
In 2016, we performed 47 in-depth interviews with experts in urban and regional planning and large-scale strategic projects and infrastructure (i.e. academics and practitioners) about the formulation, implementation and development (1990s–2010s) of each project in each of the 9 selected urban regions. On average, each interviewee answered questions on 3.1 large-scale urban development projects. Three cases were subdivided into two cases because a clear differentiation between specific implementation stages was identified by the interviewees (expansion of the Barcelona airport, cases “bcn_airport80-90” and “bcn_airport00-16”; realisation of Lyon Part-Dieu, cases “lyo_partdieu70-90” and “lyo_partdieu00-16”; MediaCityUK, cases “man_salfordquays80-00” and “man_mediacityuk00-16”). Therefore, from the initial 35 cases, the final number of analysed cases in the lsUDPs dataset is 38.

    3.2 The data set lsUDPs: Data management and operationalisation
Interviews were fully transcribed and analysed through MAXQDA (version 12.3, VERBI GmbH, Berlin, Germany), and intercoder agreement was evaluated on a sample of nine interviews. We also compiled “synthetic case descriptions” (SCD) for each case (totalling more than 160 SCDs) to spot potential inconsistencies among interviewees’ accounts and to facilitate completion of the “calibration table” for each case (see below). An online expert survey distributed to the interviewees (response rate 78%) helped systematise the information collected during the interviews. We also consulted both academic and gray literature on the case studies to check for possible ambiguity and inconsistencies in the interview data, and to solve discrepancies between our assigned set membership scores and questionnaire values. Site visits were also carried out to retrieve additional information on the selected cases.
For each case (i.e. each of the 38 selected large-scale urban development projects), we operationalised each condition (i.e. STATE, PRIVATE, EVENTS, TRANSP, RESIST) and the outcome (CONCOR) in terms of sets, for subsequent application of Qualitative Comparative Analysis. This process is called “calibration”; we used a number of indicators for each condition to qualitatively assess each large-scale project across the conditions. The case-based qualitative assessment was then transformed into fuzzy-set membership values. Fuzzy-set membership values range from 0 to 1, and should be conceived as “fundamentally interpretative tools” that “operationalize theoretical concepts in a way that enhances the dialogue between ideas and evidence” (Ragin 2000:162, in “Fuzzy-set Social Science”. Chicago: University Press). We employed a four-value fuzzy-set scale (0, 0.33, 0.67, 1) to “quantify” into set membership scores the individual histories of cases retrieved from interview data. Only the condition TRANSP was calibrated as a crisp-set (0, 1).
The translation of qualitative case-based information into numerical fuzzy-set membership values was iteratively performed by populating a calibration table following standard practices recently emerged in QCA when dealing with qualitative (interview) data.

 Dataset of an experimental campaign of induced rockfall in Tschamut, Grisons, Switzerland.

The data archive contains site specific geographical data such as DEM and orthophoto as well as the deposition points of manually induced rockfall by releasing differently shaped boulders with 30–80 kg of mass. Additionally available are all the StoneNode data streams for rocks equipped with a sensor. The data set consists of

* Deposition points from two series (wet (27/10/2016) and frozen (08/12/2016) ground)
* Digital Elevation Model (grid resolution 2 m) obtained via UAV
* Orthophoto (5 cm resolution) obtained via UAV
* Digitized rock point clouds (.pts input files for RAMMS::ROCKFALL)
* StoneNode v1.0 raw data stream for equipped rocks.

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.
