  1. 1. Compound Extreme Wind and Precipitation Events in Europe

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

    Author : Elisabet Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : compound extremes; North Atlantic Oscillation; extreme precipitation; extreme wind; sammanfallande extremväderhändelser; extrem nederbörd; extrem vind; Nordatlantiska Oscillationen;

    Abstract : The simultaneous occurrences of several extreme events, known as compound extremes, are often associated with greater impact than univariate extremes. Flooding and windstorms are widespread hazards in Europe which can lead to severe property damage and fatalities. READ MORE

  3. 2. Linking Jet Stream Variability and the NAO to the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle in Europe

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Emma Rosengren; [2020]
    Keywords : Terrestrial; Carbon Cycle; Jet Latitude; Jet Speed; NAO; NDVI; Jordbunden; Kolcykel; Jetlatitud; Jethastighet; NAO; NDVI;

    Abstract : The terrestrial carbon cycle is a part of the global carbon cycle, where one important component is the terrestrial vegetation. Terrestrial vegetation largely controls the land surface carbon exchanges and leverage the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, significantly affecting the trajectory of global warming.

  4. 3. Is there an influence of solar activity on the North Atlantic Oscillation? : a literature study of the forcing factors behind the North Atlantic Oscillation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Ida Johansson; [2015]
    Keywords : stratospheric-tropospheric couplings; solar activiy; The North Atlantic Oscillation; blockings; climatic variations; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Nordatlantiska Oscillationen (NAO) är ett atmosfäriskt cirkulationsfenomen som kännetecknas av skillnader i havsnivåtryck mellan högtrycksområdet vid Azorerna och lågtrycksområdet över Island. NAO varierar mellan en positiv och negativ fas beroende på hur väl utvecklade dessa högtrycksområden är. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sources and effects of short-term environmental changes in Gullmar Fjord, Sweden, inferred from the composition of sedimentary organic matter

    Abstract : In this study I will assess sources and effects of short-term environmental changes on the sedimentary organic matter in Gullmar Fjord. To achieve this, a high resolution sediment core (sedimentation rate 0. READ MORE

  6. 5. On the Relation Between Arctic Sea Ice and European Cold Winters During the Little Ice Age 1400-1850

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

    Author : Kristian Silver; [2014]
    Keywords : Barents Sea; Kara Sea; sea ice reduction; Arctic; midlatitudes; feedback effect; Last Millennium; historical climate change; climate modeling; threshold; global warming; cold winters; Little Ice Age; North Atlantic oscillation; LIA; NAO; PMIP3; CMIP5; NASA-GISS.; Barents hav; Karahavet; reducerat istäcke; Arktis; mellanbredderna; återkopplingseffekt; historiska klimatförändringar; klimatmodellering; tröskeleffekt; global uppvärmning; kalla vintrar; Lilla istiden ; Nordatlantiska oscillationen; NAO; PMIP3; CMIP5; NASA-GISS.;

    Abstract : This study aims to investigate the possible historical correlation between sea ice reduction in the Arctic and cold winters in Central Europe. The study is conducted over a cold period in Europe known as the Little Ice Age (LIA), 1400–1850, and uses a Global Climate Model with eight different forcing scenarios. READ MORE
