  1. 11. The accuracy of the wind stress over ocean of the Rossby Centre Atmospheric model (RCA)

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

    Author : Alexandra Ohlsson; [2006]
    Keywords : wind stress; RCA; Östergarnsholm site; model evaluation;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to investigate how well the wind stress is described in the regional climate model RCA (Rossby Centre Atmospheric model). The model data is compared with measurements taken at Östergarnsholm, an island located east of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. The investigation covers the period October 1997 to September 2000.

  3. 12. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: A study of mean levels and air-sea fluxes over the Baltic Sea

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

    Author : Cristoffer Wittskog; [2005]
    Keywords : air-sea gas exchange; CO2; Östergarnsholm; Baltic Sea; turbulent fluxes;

    Abstract : The Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere has increased dramatically since the start of the industrialisation. The effects that the increase of CO2 has on the future climate are still not fully investigated. CO2 in the atmosphere contributes to the, for all life on earth, necessary greenhouse effect.

  4. 13. An investigation of the accuracy and long term trends of ERA-40 over the Baltic Sea

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

    Author : Gabriella Nilsson; [2004]
    Keywords : Re-analysis; ERA-40 evaluation; turbulent fluxes; Baltic Sea climate;

    Abstract : Meteorological measurements from the research station at Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea between 1995 and 2001 are used to evaluate the ERA-40 data base over the Baltic Sea. This includes comparisons of mean parameters and turbulent fluxes. READ MORE

  5. 14. Influence of fog on stratification and turbulent fluxes over the ocean

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

    Author : Linda Lennartsson; [2004]
    Keywords : coastal meteorology; fog; turbulent fluxes; stratification;

    Abstract : In this thesis a case of advection fog over the Baltic Sea is studied. The period examined is from June 5th to 7th 1995. Data is taken from the instrumented mast, situated on the island Östergarnsholm, a small and flat island without trees outside of Gotland. READ MORE

  6. 15. The Influence of Waves on the Heat Exchange over Sea

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

    Author : Erik Sahlée; [2002]
    Keywords : air-sea interaction; turbulent fluxes; heat flux; swell; atmosphere-wave interaction; Stanton number;

    Abstract : The main focus of this study is the influence of waves on the heat transfer over sea. In particular, the bulk transfer coefficient CH (the Stanton number), has been investigated for possible wave influence. Measurements from the site Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea have been used. The site has a large sector with undisturbed over water fetch. READ MORE
