  1. 6. 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. 7. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. READ MORE

  4. 8. Impact of wetland restoration on river discharge - A case study of Bråån, Skåne, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ardis Luda; [2023]
    Keywords : wetlands; wetland restoration; HYPE model; river discharge; Sweden; land use change; flooding; hydrological modeling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Land use change is a factor not often considered when modeling river discharge in regard to future flood risk. The restoration of wetlands is an ongoing land use change which affects water storage capacity in the soils of a catchment and could lead to lower flows in rivers. READ MORE

  5. 9. The effect of autocorrelation when performing theapproximated permutation test

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Amerik Schouten; Linus Thor; [2023]
    Keywords : exchangeability assumption; Monte Carlo; temporal autocorrelation; type I error; simulation; re-sampling methods;

    Abstract : In meteorology, permutation tests are a commonly recommended tool because standard paramet-ric methods of inference often is insufficient when analysing weather. Therefore other methodswith less stringent assumptions like permutation testing is used. READ MORE

  6. 10. Optimization of an energy system in rural Thailand

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Axel Lund; Mattias Malmberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Rural energy; Thailand; Microgrid; Biomass; Solar PV; Sustainable development goals; Minor field study; stand-alone; HOMER pro; Landsbyggdens energi; Thailand; Microgrid; Biomassa; Solceller; Hållbara utvecklingsmål; Minor field study; fristående energi system; HOMER pro;

    Abstract : By 2020, Thailand ensured 100% electricity access to its 72 million inhabitants. This was partly done by promoting off-grid energy systems in rural areas instead of using costly grid extensions. READ MORE
