  1. 26. Analysis of the Temporal Variability of Positive Degree Day Factors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Hanna Rönnberg; [2016]
    Keywords : Positive Degree Day Surface Mass Balance; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The surface mass balance determines the growth or decay of an ice sheet, by taking the difference between accumulation and ablation. In this thesis snow and ice ablation is related to 2m-temperature through the positive degree day method. READ MORE

  3. 27. Size-dependent airborne particle emissions from ship traffic

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Fredrik Mattsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Aerosol particle; shipping; emission; health effect; particle number concentration; particle number size distribution; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Most aerosol particles emitted from shipping affect the climate by counteracting the greenhouse effect. Although, this masks the warming effect of greenhouse gases, aerosol particles also have a negative health effects, and therefore emissions need to be reduced. READ MORE

  4. 28. Globala uppvärmningens påverkan på isbjörnens parasiter

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Rebecca Söderberg; [2016]
    Keywords : Isbjörn; parasiter; global uppvärmning; Polar bears; parasites; global warming;

    Abstract : Globala uppvärmningen är ett aktuellt problem och ett djurslag som påverkas framförallt av klimatförändringarna är isbjörnen (Ursus maritimus). På det cirkumpolära Arktis använder de havsisarna som plattform för att bedriva jakt, reproduktion och förflyttningar. READ MORE

  5. 29. Changes in Surface Mass Balance on the Devon Ice Cap in the Canadian Arctic

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Linnéa Midefelt; [2016]
    Keywords : Surface mass balance; Devon Ice Cap; Canadian Arctic; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Climate change is an ongoing process that contributes to changes in the climate on a global scale down to a local scale. The Arctic sea ice and the glaciers have continued to decrease at the same time as the rate of sea level rise has increased. READ MORE

  6. 30. Arctic sea ice drift - A comparison of modeled and remote sensing data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Stina Karlsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Arctic climate and the sea ice drift are important to study both for the improvement in short-term forecasts and to get a better understanding of the climate change. Short-term forecasts are needed to improve the shipping and offshore industries in the Arctic Ocean. READ MORE
