Climate change is affecting the water budget of mountains at a fast pace and it has thus become a priority for hydrologists to quantify the vulnerability of each hydrological component to climate change, in order to assess the availability of water in the near future. However, our incomplete understanding of mountain hydrology implies that our knowledge about the future water supply of billions of people worldwide is limited.

  • Gemeindezeitung Dezember 2014
    Radfelder Gemeinde zugestellt durch Post.at Amtliche Mitteilung Amtliche Informationen für die Gemeinde Radfeld Ausgabe 10 Dezember 2014 Nr. 04 Heuer wird die Radfelder Kirchenkrippe ten der St. Briccius- Kirche ein intensives zum 25. Mal komplett mit allen Figuren Gespräch zwischen Krippenbaumeister aufgestellt. Anlässlich der 1200-Jahr- Pepi Stubenvoll und dem damaligen Pfar- feier unseres Ortes wurde damals der rer Dr. Walter Vavrovsky über die Errich- Beschluss gefasst, endlich auch eine tung einer Weihnachtskrippe für die Rad- Weihnachtskrippe für unser Gotteshaus felder Dorfkirche. Aber es dauerte noch zu bauen. Aus der Kirchenchronik ist zu erfahren, dass schon im Jahr 1912 ein gewisser Kooperator Tremml sich einen Herzens- wunsch erfüllen wollte. Er hatte nämlich vor, eine Krippe von Johann Seisl aus Wörgl zu erwerben und diese in der Radfelder Kirche aufzustellen. Aber da es zu dieser Zeit bei uns noch keine Or- gel gab, wurde statt der Krippe im Jahr 1913 eben eine solche angekauft. Bereits im Jahr 1976 gab es nach erfolg- tem Abschluss der Renovierungsarbei- Pepi Stubenvoll mit Pfarrer Dr. Walter Vavrovsky Radfelder Gemeinde Zeitung 2 13 Jahre, bis Hermann Rendl und Josef Stubenvoll begannen, dieses Vorhaben zu verwirklichen. Her- mann Rendl hatte inzwischen herausgefunden, dass es in der Pfarre eine Kiste mit alten Figuren gab, die vom bekannten Thaurer Schnitzer Johann Plank (1845 -1913) stammten. Vorsichtig und fachge- recht wurden die bis zu 40cm großen Figuren vom Staub und Schmutz befreit. Nun suchte man einen geeigneten Platz für die Weihnachtskrippe. Archi- Josef Stubenvoll bei der Arbeit am Rohbau tekt Peter Schuh von der Erzdiözese Salzburg wurde dabei zu Rate gezogen.

  • Uncover-Your-Austria-Download.Pdf
    UNCOVER YOUR AUSTRIA 1 1 y Austria is one of high peaks and the warmest Mwelcomes at Alpine huts. I’ve enjoyed some of the finest food I’ve ever had in Austria (with the best views to boot) and I take any excuse to sit on a train for hours just staring in wonder at the Alps towering above me. As a hiker (and being rather fond of food) that’s the Austria I uncovered. Chris Davies, a mountain biker who writes about his experience on page 17, uncovered a very different Austria than I did. For Chris it was about the details of the trails, the camber, those few feet in front of his bike tyre. That was until he stopped, looked around and saw the sunset over the snow-covered peaks. His experience was of carving trails. For Ian Finch, it was Austria’s mountain sunrises ‘full of awe and mystery’ that made the biggest impression according to his evoc- ative article on page four. In this magazine, we’ve picked out some of the most beautiful summer destinations across Austria, whether they are family adventures or long-distance hikes, gnarly mountain bike trails or gentle lakeside routes on an E-bike. Each village and valley, city and town has a unique character that will appeal to different people. No matter what activity you choose, you’ll always find wel- coming Austrian hospitality alongside excellent food, much of it using local ingredients. Throughout the magazine we’ve also included some ‘Heartbeat Moments’ – moments when someone’s heart skipped a beat, leapt in the air.

  • Experimental and Numerical Analyses on the Capacity and the Control Management of a Large Flood Retention Basin Situated at the Inn River in Tyrol
    E3S Web of Conferences 40, 06008 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20184006008 River Flow 2018 Experimental and numerical analyses on the capacity and the control management of a large flood retention basin situated at the Inn River in Tyrol Adrian Lindermuth1,*, Bernhard Gems1, Irina Kampel2, Christoph Waldhör2, Stefan Walder2 and Markus Aufleger1 1 Unit of Hydraulic Engineering, University of Innsbruck, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria 2 Department of Water Management, Office of the Tyrolean Regional Government, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria Abstract. The consideration of recent extreme events in flood statistics implies an increase of design flood peaks and discharge loads. With the focus on the 75 km long Tyrolean Inn River reach downstream the regional capital city Innsbruck, the harmonization of the 100-year flood peak and comprehensive 2d-hydrodynamic modelling simulations indicate the need for an extension of the existing flood protection measures. Lateral protection and object protection measures represent the only feasible option due to the confined areal conditions. However, an increase of the channel capacities would worsen the situation for downstream areas demonstrably. In order to counter this impact, it is planned to build several large controlled flood retention basins situated along the Inn River at the valley floor between Innsbruck and the border to Germany. The retention basin “Voldöpp” as one of these flood polders features a maximum capacity of 1.7 million m³ and a maximum design water depth of 3.6 m. According to current planning the inlet structure consists of four uniform weir fields with two gates each. Aims of the presented experimental and numerical analyses are the investigation of the flow characteristics in close range of the inlet structure, the weir capacity and a possible weir control management.

  • Analyzing the Operational Performance of the Hydrological Models in an Alpine Flood Forecasting System
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2012 Analyzing the operational performance of the hydrological models in an alpine flood forecasting system Achleitner, S ; Schöber, J ; Rinderer, M ; Leonhardt, G ; Schöberl, F ; Kirnbauer, R ; Schönlaub, H Abstract: During recent years a hybrid model has been set up for the operational forecasting of flood discharges in the 6750 km2 Tyrolean part of the River Inn catchment in Austria. The catchment can be characterized as a typical alpine area with large variations in altitude. The paper is focused on the error analysis of discharge forecasts of four main tributary catchments simulated with hydrological water balance models. The selected catchments cover an area of 2230 km2, where the non-glaciated and glaciated parts are modeled using the semi-distributed HQsim and the distributed model SES, respectively. The forecast errors are evaluated as a function of forecast lead time and forecasted discharge magnitude using 14 events from 2007 to 2010. The observed and forecasted precipitation inputs were obtained under operational conditions. The mean relative bias of the forecasted discharges revealed to be constant with regard to the forecast lead time, varying between 0.2 and 0.25 for the different catchments. The errors as a function of the forecasted discharge magnitude showed large errors at lower values of the forecast hydrographs, where errors decreased significantly at larger discharges being relevant in flood forecasting.

  • Large-Sample Data for Hydrology and Environmental Sciences for Central
    Discussions https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2021-72 Earth System Preprint. Discussion started: 18 March 2021 Science c Author(s) 2021. CC BY 4.0 License. Open Access Open Data LamaH | Large-Sample Data for Hydrology and Environmental Sciences for Central Europe Christoph Klingler, Karsten Schulz, Mathew Herrnegger Institute for Hydrology and Water Management, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, 1190, Austria 5 Correspondence to: Christoph Klingler ([email protected]) Abstract. Very large and comprehensive datasets are increasingly used in the field of hydrology. Large-sample studies provide insights into the hydrological cycle that might not be available with small-scale studies. LamaH (Large-Sample Data for Hydrology) is a new dataset for large-sample studies and comparative hydrology in Central Europe. It covers the entire upper Danube to the state border Austria / Slovakia, as well as all other Austrian catchments including their foreign upstream areas. 10 LamaH covers an area of 170 000 km² in 9 different countries, ranging from lowland regions characterized by a continental climate to high alpine zones dominated by snow and ice. Consequently, a wide diversity of properties is present in the individual catchments. We represent this variability in 859 observed catchments with over 60 catchment attributes, covering topography, climatology, hydrology, land cover, vegetation, soil and geological properties. LamaH further contains a collection of runoff time series as well as meteorological time series. These time series are provided with daily and also hourly resolution. 15 All meteorological and the majority of runoff time series cover a span of over 35 years, which enables long-term analyses, also with a high temporal resolution.
