Titel:
\n<\/strong>Extreme Weather in West Greenland \u2013 Frequency, Magnitude and Impact<\/p>\n

Beskrivelse:
\n<\/strong>Heavy precipitation (ca. 30 mm) along with an impressive temperature rise (almost 26\u00b0C in 60 hours) and abnormally warm temperatures (up to 18.1\u00b0C) occurred between 9 April and 11 April 2016 in Kangerluarsunnguaq. Within 24 hours, the water level, since the temperature rise and likely an unstable snow pack, we observed a number of avalanches that in parts also destroyed some of our monitoring installations. Reviewing the literature, we found that the type of avalanches is best characterized as a \u2018slush flow\u2019, defined as a \u2018mudflow-like flowage of water-saturated snow\u2019. Perquisites are heavy precipitation and high temperatures. Such extreme events are a hazard for infrastructure, and a along with the recent warming in Greenland, there are indications that their frequency increases which makes their understating vital for adaptation measures.<\/p>\n

The aim of this project is therefore to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. quantify an extreme event in West Greenland, and describe conditions that lead to that,<\/li>\n
  2. assess the potential of Remote Sensing methods for defining the spatial extent of the April 2016 event.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once (I) and (II) have been answered, our longer climate time series will allow for assessment of recurrence times.<\/p>\n
