Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible with the help of many amazing people around me. First of, I’d like to thank Michi Lehning, for putting his trust in me and exploring a relatively new field together. I’ve learned a great deal from you over the years, thank you for allowing me the freedom to do things my way. The amazing Team Energy at EPFL: Annelen, Jerome and Stuart; you guys are the best. Slowly we will save the world! ;) Deep gratitude goes to Franziska Gerber and Varun Sharma for helping me with the WRF modeling described in the last chapter of this thesis. If it weren’t for your help and patient answers to my countless questions, I am sure that chapter would have looked very different. Similarly, I am grateful for Benoit Gherardi’s help with an initial WRF set-up. The great people at CRYOS in Lausanne have always welcomed me warmly. And although I only made very irregular appearences you all made me feel welcome and part of the team.
