Brainstorming notes from 2018-05-14

[fmaussion]

Raw output from the discussion (will have to be refined):

Topics for the webpage:

• Introduction page (general goals) 0.5 group
• Open Science (literature review, explanations, 0.5 group)
• Why did we go to Patscherkofel and made measurements there? (0.5 group)
• AWS data results (one group at least, maybe 2)
• EcoBot (one group)
• Radiative forcing of albedo: worst case scenario computations (2 groups?)
• One page about the difficulty of computing radiative forcing of ANY CO2 emmission (literature review: one group)

We have to publish the data and the code (including DOI) on Zenodo.

Discussion about the radiative forcing models

Radiative Forcing side of Albedo:

• Albedo of various land surfaces + uncertainties
• Solar radiation data (incoming)
• DEM: -> terrain inclination (as input for a radiation model)
• Land surface map: for albedo values
• Cloudiness (maybe obtained from cloudiness)
• for a radiation model
• Spatial and temporal evolution of snow cover w & wo artifical snow
• LW radiation budget -> we change the shortwave but what about SW?

Radiative Forcing side of CO2:

• full C02 emission budget:
  • energy needed for production (snow guns)
  • installation of snow guns
  • water (lakes / dams)
  • snow redistribution (?)
• conversion model between CO2 -> delta RF (difficult topic: BUT there are some empirical formulas)
