  1. 1. The Resilience of the Rail System for International Freight in Öresund Region in Case of Major Disruptions

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Sneha Gosavi; [2021]
    Keywords : Öresund Fixed Link; Capacity constraints; Freight trains; Simulation; Fast förbindelse Öresund; Kapacitetsbegränsningar; godståg; simulering iv;

    Abstract : Rail Transport has held an important place in the European economy. Several problems plague rail freight. We frequently hear about train disruptions, whether it is due to a signal failure or an infrastructure breakdown, most of which have caused significant issues for both passengers and cargo.

  3. 2. Nitrogen runoff, constructed wetlands and the effect on catch of fish in the Öresund strait

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Saga Hedstigen Sundblad; [2020]
    Keywords : seafloor oxygen demand; fish catch; constructed wetland; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Eutrophication and low dissolved oxygen levels are spreading all over the world, causing changes in fish distribution and decline in fish abundance and catch of fish. This study assesses the current nitrogen (N) surface runoff to the Öresund strait, the seafloor oxygen demand it cause, the subsequent effect on fish catch, and the constructed wetland area needed to retain current N loads.

  4. 3. Snow and sea ice temperature profiles from satellite data and ice mass balance buoys

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Isabella Grönfeldt; [2016]
    Keywords : IMB; ice mass balance buoys; snow-ice interface; air-snow interface; temperature profile; snow; sea ice; Fram Strait; Greenland; Arctic Ocean; climate change; climate; physical geography and ecosystem analysis; remote sensing; satellite; sensor; SMOS; AMSR-2; TIR; numerical weather prediction; multiple regression analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The sea ice covers approximately 5% of the Earth’s surface at any given time and it plays an important role in the polar climate system affecting the heat, mass and momentum exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. The snow cover on top of the sea ice affects its insulating and reflective properties and thus key figures in the climate system feedback loop. READ MORE

  5. 4. Variability of Sea Ice Extent Along The East Coast of Greenland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Isabella Grönfeldt; [2013]
    Keywords : Sea ice; East coast of Greenland; Fram Strait; Northern Hemisphere; Remote sensing; Ice charts; Pressure difference; Physics and Astronomy; Science General;

    Abstract : There has been a decrease in sea ice extent and volume in the polar regions during the past decades; this study focuses on the Northern Hemisphere. The variability of the sea ice extent along the east coast of Greenland is examined and the area is divided into three regional zones to be able to study variations in the correlation strength along the coast.

  6. 5. The wind field in coastal areas

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Niklas Sondell; [2001]
    Keywords : coastal meteorology; internal boundary layer; effect of surface properties; wind field; stability effects;

    Abstract : The land-sea transition in coastal areas makes the meteorological conditions rather complex and the structure of the coastal boundary layer is important for many reasons. Two examples are air pollution dispersion and wind energy potential. The wind field off the coast when offshore flow is present has been studied. READ MORE
