  1. 1. Numerical Modelling of Convective Snow Bands in the Baltic Sea Area

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

    Author : Julia Jeworrek; [2016]
    Keywords : Shallow convection; extreme precipitation; Baltic Sea; SST; regional climate system modelling;

    Abstract : Convective snow bands develop commonly over the open water surface of lakes or seas when cold airgets advected from a continent. Enhanced heat and moisture fluxes from the comparatively warm waterbody trigger shallow convection and an unstable boundary layer builds up. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of Global Wave Climate Based on the JMA/MRI-AGCM Climate Change Projection

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Johanna Ekstedt; [2014]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this study global wave climates for present and future climates are simulated with the WAM model, based on wind fields from the JMA/MRI-AGCM3.2 climate projection. The projected wave fields are analysed and compared for the two periods of 1979-2003 and 2075-2099, and climate change induced differences are identified. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hindcast of the wave climate in Öresund : modelling of wave climate over 50 years using WAM with wind measurements input

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Laury Renac; Sara Schömer Ericsson; [2014]
    Keywords : Wave climate modelling; WAM; Öresund; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Öresund is a very dynamic economic area with numerous projects, there is a great need of a deeper understanding of the wave climate. The wave measurements currently available are scarce and they do not cover the whole area. READ MORE

  5. 4. Wave atlas along the south-eastern coast of Sweden : A 6-year simulation of waves using local wind measurements from meteorological stations around the Baltic Sea

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Sebastian Irminger Street; [2011]
    Keywords : Baltic Sea; wave modelling; WAM; forcing through wind measurements; wave climate; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A wave atlas describing the monthly wave climate at 5 locations along the Swedish SE coast was desired. Using the WAM wave model to hindcast the waves between Jan 1st 2004 and Dec 31st 2009 the parameters significant wave height, direction of wave propagation and spectral wave peak period were extracted from the time series and assembled in a wave atlas.

  6. 5. Validation of the WAM-model over the Baltic Sea

    University essay from Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Caroline Berg; [2008]
    Keywords : WAM-model; waves; ERA40; RCA; hindcast; Meteorology; WAMDI; spectral energy balance equation; bias; rms; buoy; ; Sinificant wave height; direction; peak period; Baltic Sea;

    Abstract : In order to understand how waves influence the exchange of momentum, latent heat and other parameters, between the ocean surface and the atmosphere, one can use models. A coupling between a wave model and an atmospheric regional climate model, for the Baltic Sea, will be performed at the Meteorology Institute in Uppsala University. READ MORE
