  1. 1. Changes in July albedo and its relationship with EVI over the last two decades in the Swedish alpine region

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Vera Grönvik Hende; [2023]
    Keywords : Shortwave albedo; Enhanced Vegetation Index EVI ; Alpine vegetation; Scandes; Surface albedo feedback; MODIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Vegetation in the subarctic is expected to respond to climate warming as its growth becomes less temperature limited. This has previously been recorded in the form of treeline advances and increasing shrub cover. Changes in vegetation cover may accelerate warming due to a decrease in summer albedo, in what is termed surface albedo feedback. READ MORE

  3. 2. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling façade temperature using meteorological data

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Erik Maesel; [2022-09-01]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Urbanization has increased drastically during the last century, and in 2007, the urban population exceeded that of the rural. Urban areas tend to be warmer than those of its surrounding due to the urban heat island effect (UHI) which can bring harmful effects to people living in urban areas. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Microsatellite Constellation for Wildfire Monitoring

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Citlali Bruce Rosete; [2022]
    Keywords : microsatellite; shortwave infrared sensor; active fire monitoring; burned area detection; satellite constellation; mikrosatellit; kortvågig infraröd sensor; aktiv brandövervakning; detektion av brandhärjat område; satellitkonstellation;

    Abstract : I flera års tid har antalet svåra och okontrollerade skogsbränder ökat i antal. Det finns ett behov av att detektera skogsbränder med hjälp av satelliter som har högre tidsupplösning samt högre geometrisk upplösning än de satelliter som är i bruk idag. READ MORE
