  1. 1. Seasonal Variability of Ice Nucleating Particles (INP) in Southern Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Tamina Kabir; [2023-03-08]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cloud ice crystals are formed by ice-nucleating particles (INPs). The micro-physical properties of clouds, precipitation formation and the life cycle of clouds are strongly influenced by the presence or absence of ice. Therefore knowledge of atmospheric INP concentrations is crucial to improve weather forecasting and climate projections. READ MORE

  3. 2. Intercomparison of a Dynamic Ocean for Earth-like Aqua-planets

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Fredrik Plane; [2022]
    Keywords : Astrobiology; Planets; Aqua-planets; Atmosphere and Ocean physics; Exoplanet; Habitability; General Circulation Model; GCM; Climate Modelling; Dynamic Ocean;

    Abstract : I present herein an ensemble of ROCKE-3D aqua-planet simulations which I compare with the simulations presented in the work of Yang et al. (2019) and other similar works. The focus was on contrasting differences in the greenhouse effect between the models. READ MORE

  4. 3. Exploring Diversity of Spectral Data in Cloud Detection with Machine Learning Methods : Contribution of Near Infrared band in improving cloud detection in winter images

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Nakita Sunil Oza; [2022]
    Keywords : Remote sensing; Multispectral imaging; Cloud detection; Data diversity; Deep learning; Fjärranalys; Multispektral bildbehandling; Molndetektion; Datadiversitet; Djupinlärning;

    Abstract : Cloud detection on satellite imagery is an essential pre-processing step for several remote sensing applications. In general, machine learning based methods for cloud detection perform well, especially the ones based on deep learning as they consider both spatial and spectral features of the input image.

  5. 4. Fragmentation in graupel snow collisions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Martanda Gautam; [2022]
    Keywords : Ecosystem Analysis; Clouds; Snow; Graupel; SIP; Fragmentation; CKE; Rime Fraction; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Aircraft observations of precipitating clouds with cloud top temperatures higher than -38°C have revealed that Secondary Ice Production (SIP) is responsible for presence of majority of ice particles. One such SIP mechanism is fragmentation via collisions between ice particles. READ MORE

  6. 5. Snow-graupel collisions in clouds: a newly derived formulation for breakup of single crystals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Victor Craig van der Brug; [2022]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Secondary Ice Production; Ice Cloud Number Concentration; Cloud Ice; Ice-Ice Collisions; Snow Crystal; Atmospheric Science Biogeochemical Cycles; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The observed and well-known discrepancy between concentrations of ice nucleating particles in the environment and the concentrations of ice particles in clouds show that there are additional ‘secondary’ processes enhancing the concentrations of ice particles. In present-day modelling of weather and climate, such processes are mostly overlooked and thus a cause for uncertainty. READ MORE
