We conducted consecutive loading-relaxation experiments at low strain rates to study the viscoplastic behavior of the intact ice matrix in snow. The experiments were conducted using a micro-compression stage within the X-ray tomography scanner in the SLF cold laboratory.

Next, to evaluate the experiments, a novel, implicit solution of a transient scalar model was developed to estimate the stress exponent and time scales in the effective creep relation (Glen's law). The result reveals that, for the first time, a transition in the exponent in Glen's law depends on geometrical grain size. A cross-over of stress exponent $n=1.9$ for fine grains to $n=4.4$ for coarse grains is interpreted as a transition from grain boundary sliding to dislocation creep.

The dataset includes compression force data from 11 experiments and corresponding 3D image data from tomography scans.

High quality meteorological data are needed for long-term forest ecosystem research, particularly in the light of global change. The long-term data series published here comprises almost 20 years of measurements for two meteorological stations in Beatenberg in Switzerland where one station is located within a natural coniferous forest (BAB) with Norway spruce (_Picea abies_; 190-210 yrs) as dominant tree species. A second station is situated in the very vicinity outside of the forest (field station, BAF). The meteorological time series are presented in hourly time resolution of air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and wind speed. Beatenberg is part of the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme (LWF) established and maintained by the
Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL.

Title: Monitoring data set at A2 (utility-scale power-plant Muttsee), months 10.2022-09.2023
Provider: AXPO - IWB Industrielle Werke Basel
Last edition: 17.01.2024
Editor: Y.Frischholz, Laboratory of Cryospheric Sciences, EPFL
File name structure:
The power-plant is made of 23 string boxes (GAK) and inverters (WR) named after their given number. One file per device is provided in the data/ subfolder, following the same naming convention (e.g. for the string box number 1, the file name is: “A2_GAK01.csv” and for the corresponding inverter, the file name is “A2_WR01.csv”). Refer to the publication for further details on the setup of the power plant.
File format:
All files are provided in the CSV format.
Column headings:
	String boxes and inverters (GAK & WR):
	⁃	device_name (string): name of the device (same as file name)
	⁃	timestamp (datetime64): time stamp in format “YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss”, time-zone: UTC
	String boxes (GAK):
	⁃	I_ (double): input current from the substring number (W)
	⁃	I_SUM (double): output current of string box (A)
	⁃	U_DC (double): output voltage of string box (V)
	⁃	P_DC_ (double): input DC power from the substring number (W)
	⁃	P_DC (double): output DC power of string box (W)
	⁃	$S$_T#_$T$ (double): temperature from the sensor connected to the string box (empty if not existing), placed on the “front” or “back” side (S) of table T. Two types of temperature measurements (#) are available: 1=standard cell temperature (°C) , 2=module temperature on the rear side (°C) .
	⁃	$S$_SRAD_T (double): poa irradiation (W/m**2) from the sensor connected to the string box (empty if not existing), placed on the “front” or “back” side (S) of table T.
		Inverters (WR):
	⁃	I_DC (double): input DC current(A)
	⁃	U_DC(double): input DC voltage(V)
	⁃	P_DC (double): input DC power (W)
	⁃	P_AC (double): output AC power (W)
Preprocessing:
	1. Outliers:
	⁃	Quantiles Q1 and Q99 are computed for each variable
	⁃	Values below Q1 and above Q99 are considered outliers
	⁃	Outliers are replaced by NaNs.

	2. Missing data:
	⁃	Data holes of less or equal to 3 hours are interpolated linearly for all variables
	⁃	Data holes of more than 3 hours are replaced using the monthly nan-mean of the considered hour if more than 50% of the qualifying data points are available. For instance, if the data point 2022-12-12 12:12:00, is missing for a given variable and is part of a data hole larger than 3 hours, then it is replaced by the mean of all data points with hour = 12 of the month of December 2022, if 50% of all the qualifying data points are not NaN. In case more than 50% of the qualifying points are missing, the data point remains as missing (NaN).
	3. Wiring losses:
	⁃	To be consistent with A1, wiring losses are corrected at A2. The wiring loss between the string boxes and the inverters is removed by multiplying the value of input P_DC at the inverter level (P_DC,inv) by the mean ratio P_DC,inv / P_DC,arr.
	⁃	The computed mean wiring loss is 2.3\%. It is computed from 2023-02-01 to 2023-09-30, after the long data hole in the data sets of the string boxes.

Mean uptime:
	Raw:
	⁃	WR: 98.2%
	⁃	GAK*: 38.5%
	Processed:
	⁃	WR: 99.6%
	⁃	GAK*: 56.4%

	*The uptime at the string box level (GAK) is low because PMUs at this level shut down during steady and low signal leading to unavailable data at night. In addition, the 23 days downtime of 	January 2023 could not be interpolated nor replaced.

Last edition: 17.01.2024
File name structure:
The test site contains 6 segments named from A to F. The six files provided in the data/ subfolder follow the same naming convention (e.g. for segment A, the file name is: “A1_A.csv”). Refer to the publication for further details on the setups of the segments.
File format:
All files are provided in the CSV format.
Column headings:
	•	timestamp (datetime64): time stamp in format “YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss”, time-zone: UTC
	•	poa_front (double): front plane-of-array irradiation (W/m**2)
	•	poa_back (double): rear plane-of-array irradiation (W/m**2)
	•	mod_temp (double): module’s temperature (°C)
	•	P_AC (double): output AC power (W)
Preprocessing:
	Outliers:
	⁃	Quantiles Q1 and Q99 are computed for each variable
	⁃	Values below Q1 and above Q99 are considered outliers
	⁃	Outliers are replaced by NaNs.
	Missing data:
	⁃	Data holes of less than 3 hours are interpolated linearly for all variables
	⁃	Data holes of more than 3 hours are replaced using the monthly nan-mean of the considered hour if more than 50% of the qualifying data points are available. For instance, if the data point 2022-12-12 12:12:00, is missing for a given variable and is part of a data hole larger than 3 hours, then it is replaced by the mean of all data points with hour = 12 of the month of December 2022, if 50% of all the qualifying data points are not NaN. In case more than 50% of the qualifying points are missing, the data point remains as missing (NaN).
	Wiring losses :
	⁃	As described in [1] , the test-site setup caused abnormally large wiring losses, mainly due to the distance to optimisers and to the low installed power per DC-wire.
	⁃	The wiring losses comprised between 10% and 15%, are averaged hourly and added to the measured DC power.

	Misc.:
	⁃	P_AC is computed for each segment based on the measured DC power and the average inverter’s efficiency (96.1%).
	⁃	As described in [1], the peak power of the installed module, used to compute the final yield is slightly different from the values announced by the manufacturer.
Mean uptime:
	Raw:
	⁃	95.2%
	Processed:
	⁃	100%

The actual data file with monitoring data of 963 beech trees in northern Switzerland over four years (Drought_and_Beech_1000beeches_Data_v1.0.csv), a metadata file with column descriptions (Drought_and_Beech_1000beeches_Legend_v1.0.csv), and a file defining the different survey periods (Drought_and_Beech_1000beeches_Survey_periods_v1.0.csv).

en: This study investigated multi-year drought impacts on beech forests through a unique large-scale monitoring of 963 individual beech trees, which showed either premature leaf discoloration during the drought in summer 2018 or no visible damage. We conducted the study in two highly drought-affected regions in northern Switzerland and one less drought-affected region located further south. We quantified the development of crown dieback and tree mortality as well as secondary drought damage, i.e. the presence of bleeding cankers and bark beetle infestations, in these trees for three consecutive years. We also determined the impact of several potential climate- and stand-related (predisposing) factors on mortality and drought legacy processes.

Title: Closer to causality: How effective is spatial planning in governing built-up land expansion in Fujian Province, China?

Research objective: The Major Function Oriented Zone (MFOZ), the first strategic spatial plan in China, is developed to achieve a coordinated regional development, through spatial regulation and zoning of development. The MFOZ he MFOZ divided land into four major function-oriented zones: The development-optimized zone, the development-prioritised zone, the development-restricted zone, and the development-prohibited zone. We used propensity score marching to evaluate the effect of the MFOZ on built-up land expansion in Fujian Province over three time intervals (2013–2015, 2013–2018 and 2013–2020).

Data: Data.xlsx contains the variables of 954 towns in Fujian Province.

Builtup_13_18 is the built-up land expansion from 2013 to 2018;
Builtup_13_20 is the built-up land expansion from 2013 to 2020;
Dis2water is the Euclidean distance from the town to the nearest waterbody;
Slope is the the average slope within the town;
GDP is the average GDP in 2010 within the town;
Pop is the average population in 2010 within the town;

Nei_Arable, Nei_Forest, and Nei_Built.up are the area of arable land, forest land, and built-up land neighbouring town i in 2010.

Method: we used the propensity score matching to compare the changes in the amount of built-up land in the towns of the development-prioritised zone with the matched towns of the development-restricted zone. Additionally, we used three evaluation intervals (2013–2015, 2013–2018 and 2013–2020) to evaluate temporal variation in the causal effect of the MFOZ on built-up land expansion.

Short videos showing scenarios of potential landscape development in a 4°C warmer climate for a Swiss mountain region and a region on the Swiss Plateau. The videos are in German or French with subtitles.
The videos' key message is: Climate change will have an impact on the Swiss landscapes. However, according to the strategy chosen to adapt to climate change, society and politics will also have a strong influence on the future landscapes and the services they will provide. If no action is taken to adapt to climate change today, then society will have to react in a hurry at a later point in time. This can often result in resource-intensive technical solutions. Conversely, if society takes action in an anticipatory way already today, nature-based solutions can be implemented more successfully and humans can benefit more from the landscape services..
These short videos are teasers that should make the viewers curious to visit the panorama pictures (https://viergrad.envidat.ch/).

en: Snowdrift measurements around Neumayer Station III

en: Files containing the topographical data barometrically measured in June 2009 around the German Antarctic Research station Neumayer III. Those measurements are compared to the snowBedFoam simulations to assess the ability of the model to reproduce real snow distribution observations.

en:
snowBedFoam 1.0. is a snow transport solver implemented in the computational fluid dynamics software OpenFOAM. It is adapted from the standard multi-phase flow solver DPMFoam for application in snow-influenced environments.
To simulate aeolian snow transport, snowBedFoam 1.0. handles coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian phases, which involve a finite number of particles (snow) spread in a continuous phase (air). The snow erosion and deposition are modelled through physics-based equations similar to the ones employed in the well-established LES-Lagrangian Stochastic Model (Comola and Lehning, 2017 ; Sharma et al., 2018 ; Melo et al., 2022). This modelling approach is computationally intensive and thus adapted to simulate snow movement and distribution on small scale terrain.
First, snowBedFoam 1.0. was applied to topographical data collected on Arctic sea ice during the MOSAiC expedition (Clemens-Sewall, 2021). Together with atmospheric data from the MOSAiC Met City (Shupe et al., 2021) used for the fluid forcing, the model was able to accurately simulate the zones of erosion and deposition of snow along a complex ice ridge structure (Hames et al., 2022).
Second, snowBedFoam 1.0. was used to simulate the snow distribution around the German Antarctic research station Neumayer Station III. The effect of snow properties, fluid forcing and aerodynamic structures on the snow accumulation were assessed.
snowBedFoam 1.0 was implemented in 2 different OpenFOAM versions, namely OpenFOAM-2.3.0 and OpenFOAM-5.0. The latter offers more options for turbulence models and boundary conditions. The fundamental model equations were not changed from one implementation to the other, thus both still correspond to snowBedFoam 1.0. The two branches are called snowBedFoam-v1-2.3.0 (OpenFOAM-2.3.0) and snowBedFoam-v1-5.0 (OpenFOAM-5.0). The core codes of snowBedFoam 1.0. are directly accessible on the WSL/SLF GitLab repository (more details in the Resources section).

Daily discharge and the related hydro-meteorological variables precipitation, snowmelt, and soil moisture are provided for current (1981-2017) and for future climate conditions (1981-2100) for 307 medium-sized catchments in Switzerland. The catchments have a median catchment area of 117 km². The 307 catchments together form a set representative of the climatological conditions and runoff characteristics in Switzerland. The four variables were simulated at a daily resolution using the hydrological model PREVAH. PREVAH is a conceptual process-based model that was run in this study in its fully distributed version on a 500 m grid (Viviroli et al. 2009a). For the calibration, runoff time series from 140 mesoscale catchments covering the different runoff regimes were used. The model calibration was conducted over the period 1993-1997. Verification was performed on the period 1983-2005 using (i) volumetric deviation (Viviroli et al. 2007) and (ii) benchmark efficiency (Schäfli et al 2007) as objective functions. The calibration and validation procedures are described in detail in Köplin et al. (2010). The parameters for each model grid cell were derived by regionalizing the parameters obtained for the 140 catchments with a procedure based on ordinary kriging (Viviroli et al. 2009b, Köplin et al. 2010).
The calibrated and validated model was then driven with transient meteorological data (precipitation, temperature, radiation, and wind) representing both reference (1981-2017) and future climate conditions (2018-2099). The data were derived from the CH2018 climate scenarios (NCCS 2018) provided by the Swiss National Centre for Climate Services (NCCS). They were obtained from climate experiments produced with different climate modeling chains, consisting of a global and a regional circulation model each, within EUROCORDEX for three representative concentration pathways (RCP) emission scenarios. Downscaled output of ten climate model chains derived by quantile mapping were considered. The focus was on the chains of the EUR-11 domain with a horizontal resolution of 0.11 degrees (roughly 12.5 km). The climate model chains (GCM, RCM, RCP, and grid resolution) used are listed below:

The long-term data series published here comprises almost 20 years of measurements for two meteorological stations in Celerina in Switzerland where one station is located within a natural coniferous forest stand (CLB) with Swiss pine (_Pinus cembra_; 210-250 yrs) as dominant tree species. A second station is situated in the very vicinity outside of the forest (field station, CLF). The meteorological time series are presented in hourly time resolution of air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and wind speed. Celerina is part of the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme (LWF) established and maintained by the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL.

Silvopastoral systems are highly productive and combine long-term wood production with annual provision of forage for livestock. In the Swiss Jura Mountains these systems are a key component of the landscape. As in other cold biomes, climate change can potentially accelerate landscape change within these historically sustainable systems.

In order to anticipate the evolution of subalpine wooded pasture ecosystems under future climate and land-use changes, this project focused on the interplay between soil, vegetation and climate. It was aimed at providing experimental evidence for chief ecosystem processes, with emphasis on the quality of the ecosystem services provided. The main interest was placed on vegetation turf resistance to climate change along an unwooded – sparsely wooded - densely wooded pasture gradient (land-use intensity), where plant productivity, diversity and succession along with rates of carbon cycling and microbial activity provided measures of ecosystem functioning at both plot and landscape level.

Experimental transplantation of monolith soil turfs to lower altitudes allowed to simulate soil warming and reduced annual precipitation. In order to simulate a year-round warmer and drier climate the natural climate variation along an altitudinal gradient was used as a proxy. The aim was to simulate realistic climate change scenarios for the second half of the 21st century predicted by the IPCC report and downscaled for Switzerland providing regionalized interpolated projections integrating therein trends for temperature increase and precipitation decrease. By using permanent meteorological stations within the network of the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology (MeteoSwiss), we obtained high resolution regional data on the variation of mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP) in relation to altitude in the Swiss Jura Mountains. We observed a general increase of +0.5 K in MAT and a decrease of -20 % MAP for each 100 m decrease in altitude along the SE slope of the Swiss Jura Mountains. These relationships served for the selection of the transplantation sites such that in comparison to a control site at 1350 m a.s.l. (Combe des Amburnex, N 46°54’, E 6°23’) a +2 K MAT and -20 % MAP was achieved at 1010 m a.s.l. (Saint-George, N 46°52’, E 6°26’), a +4 K MAT and -40 % MAP at 570 m a.s.l., (Arboretum d’Aubonne, N 46°51’, E 6°37’), and a +5 K MAT and -50 % MAP at 395 m a.s.l. (Les Bois Chamblard, N 46°47’, E 6°41’). The two stations at 1010 m a.s.l. and 570 m a.s.l. corresponded to the IPCC scenario A1B for a moderate increase in greenhouse gas emissions and to scenario A2 for a high increase in greenhouse gas emissions, respectively. The station at 395 m a.s.l. was chosen to represent an extreme scenario with climate variables lying at the positive tail distribution of model predictions under the A2 scenario.

Soil cores were assembled into rectangular PVC boxes of 60  80 cm2 size and of 35 cm height. All mesocosms were dug down to surface level into previously prepared trenches in the ground thus preventing lateral heat exchange with the atmosphere. Since at each site the mesocosms were placed in a common garden with no light interception, mesocosms with turfs from the two wooded pastures were shaded from direct sun light to simulate the natural light conditions in the corresponding habitats. Each mesocosm was equipped with a drainage system and was connected to a water tank thus representing a zero potential lysimeter collecting soil solution and precipitation/snowmelt runoff. ECH2O EC-TM sensor probes coupled to Em50 data-loggers (Decagon Devices, Inc., USA) recorded soil temperature and volumetric water content in each mesocosm at the top-soil (0 to -3 cm) every minute and data were averaged over one hour intervals. Climate parameters at each transplantation site were monitored continuously throughout the experiment by means of automated weather stations (Sensor Scope Sàrl, Switzerland), measuring rain precipitation (non-heated tipping bucket gauges) and air temperature and humidity 2 m above the ground surface at one minute intervals.

A list of above- and belowground variables were measured to assess the resilience of biogeochemical processes, plant productivity, tree regeneration, and carbon sequestration for each respective land-use practice. Furthermore, the experimental data were used to improve on (parameterization) the existing spatially explicit, dynamic model WoodPaM and refine the modelʼs climatic and land-use variables so that different scenarios of climate change and land use change could be simulated. Natural and management induced disturbance patterns were incorporated into the model.
The data have been made available within the project CCES Mounted. The climate stations Sensorscope are still in use within the project CLIMARBRE (Wald und Klimawandel, WSL/BAFU).

en: The APS file contains aerosol data (total number concentration, median, mean, geometric mean, mode and geometric standard deviation of the size distribution) for aerodynamic diameters between 0.5 μm and ~20 μm as well as instrument characteristics, in a temporal resolution of 20 seconds, with time in UTC, measured at Weissfluhjoch.

en:
Aerosol properties were measured between February 8 and March 31 2019 at the measurement site Weissfluhjoch (LON: 9.806475, LAT: 46.832964). Optical and aerodynamic particle counters, as well as a scanning mobility particle size spectrometer and an ice nuclei counter were deployed to report particle concentrations and size distributions in fine (10-1000 nm) and coarse mode (> 1000 nm), cloud condensation nuclei concentrations (CCNCs), and ice nuclei particle concentrations (ICNCs). The ambient particles were transported via a heated inlet to be distributed to the particle detecting devices inside the setup room.

Optical Particle Counter (OPC): Light scattering of a diode laser beam caused by travelling particles is used in the both, the OPC-N3 (0.41 - 38.5 μm) and GT-526S (0.3 – 5 μm), to determine their size and number concentration. For the OPC-N3, particle size spectra and concentration data are used afterwards to calculate PM₁, PM₂,₅ and PM₁₀ (assumptions: particle density: 1.65 g cmˉ³, refractive index: 1.5+i0).

Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS): The APS (3321, TSI Inc.) measured the particle size distribution for aerodynamic diameters between 0.5 μm and ~20 μm by the particle’s time-of-flight and light-scattering intensity (assumptions: particle density 1 g cmˉ³).

Scanning Mobility Particle Size Spectrometer (SMPS): Particle number concentrations in a size range between 12 and 460 nm (electrical mobility diameter) were measured at Davos Wolfgang, using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer Spectrometer (SMPS 3938, TSI Inc.). The classifier (3082, TSI Inc.) was equipped with a neutralizer (3088, TSI Inc.) and a differential mobility analyzer working with negative polarity (3081, TSI Inc.). The size selected particles were counted by a water-based condensation particle counter (3787 TSI Inc.). The TSI AIM software was used to provide particle size distributions by applying multiple charge and diffusion loss corrections (assumptions: particle density 1 g cmˉ³).

Coriolis μ and LINDA: A microbial air sampler (Coriolis μ, bertin Instruments) was used to collect airborne particles for investigating their ice nucleating ability with a droplet freezing device. Particles larger than 0.5 μm were drawn with an air flow rate of up to 300 l min‾¹ into the cone and centrifuged into the wall of the cone due to the forming vortex. The liquid sample was transferred into the LED based Ice Nucleation Detection Apparatus (LINDA, University of Basel) to study heterogeneous ice formation (immersion freezing mode) of ambient airborne particles.

en: 1998-2006 Vegetation Height Model

en:
The main datasets available are 4 nationwide **Digital Surface Models (DSMs)** and corresponding **Vegetation Height Models (VHMs)** with a spatial resolution of 1 m.
The Vegetation Height Models are calculated by subtraction of a Digital Terrain Model (swissAlti3d version 2017, swisstopo) from the generated DSMs. DSMs were derived by image matching of **scanned historical images** (panchromatic 8-bit) acquired with a RC10 frame camera, in the context of the swisswide image acquisition campaigns of swisstopo.
Nationwide products could be generated for the **four epochs**
 1979-1985 / 1985-1991 / 1990-1998 / 1998-2006.
Additional information about successful image matching vs. interpolation of pixels and about the year of image acquisition are available in the corresponding files (**matched_area_xxxx_xxxx_binay.tif** and **meta_acquisition_year_xxxx_xxxx.json**, respectively).
To separate vegetation from non-vegetation areas a mask derived from a combination of information of the Topographic landscape model - TLM (swisstopo) and a NDVI layer was used and is supplied as **"TLM_mask.tif"**
Due to the occurrence of unrealistic vegetation height values caused by the failure of the image matching process (mainly overexposed images and clouds or very steep rocky terrain), pixel values > 60 m were set to NoData and < 0 m to 0.
All datasets are available in the Reference System **LV95 (EPSG: 2056) LN02 (EPSG: 5728)** and share the common **extent definition** (xmin ymin xmax ymax): 2480000 1070000 2840000 1300000

en: The dataset contains for three variables (snow water equivalent, surface water input and liquid precipitation) 50 realizations of current and future climate periods for two time horizons (mid end end of century), two emission senarions (RCP 4.5 and 8.5) and 10 climate model chains (all EUR11 chains within CH2018). To quantify natural climate variability for projections of snow conditions and resulting rain-on-snow (ROS) flood events, a weather generator was applied to simulate inherently consistent climate variables for multiple realizations of current and future climates at 100 m spatial and hourly temporal resolution over a 12 x 12 km high-altitude study area in the Swiss Alps. The output of the weather generator was used as input for subsequent simulations with an energy balance snow model. The data was extracted in 2021 from original model output.

en: In the context of landslide early warning research, soil moisture (e.g. volumetric soil water content and soil water potential) has been measured at six locations in the Napf-region (Emmental, central Switzerland) since April 2019. Here, we provide the hourly mean values of all sensors from all 6 locations after a comprehensive data control, filtering and aggregation (from 10-min to 1-hour values). A sub-set of these data (for the locations Wasen i.E.) has previously been published in envidat.ch at https://www.doi.org/10.16904/envidat.369 applying the same data post-processing method. The dataset is complemented with meteorological data (locally measured air temperature and precipitation) as well as soil temperature. A detailed description of the sites and measurement installations can be found in a separate report (attached with the data).

en: High quality meteorological data are needed for long-term forest ecosystem research, particularly in the light of global change. The long-term data series published here comprises almost 20 years of measurements for two meteorological stations in Vordemwald in Switzerland where one station is located within a natural mixed forest stand (VOB) with European silver fir (_Abies alba_; 110 yrs) and oak trees (_Quercus sp._; 190-210 yrs) as dominant tree species. A second station is situated in the very vicinity outside of the forest (field station, VOF). The meteorological time series are presented in hourly time resolution of air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and wind speed. Vordemwald is part of the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme (LWF) established and maintained by the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL.
