  1. 1. Insights Into Wind Profile Characteristics in the Arctic Marine Boundary Layer

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

    Author : Charlotte Sophie Gausa; [2024]
    Keywords : Arctic; wind profile power law; MOST; boundary layer; low level jets; sea ice; vindprofil; Arktis; gränsskikt; vindenergi; låghöjdsvindar; havsis;

    Abstract : The atmospheric boundary layer in the Arctic is essential for the understanding of climate change and improving regional weather prediction. The aim of this study is to investigate to which degree wind speed profiles retrieved in the Arctic agree with well known wind profile concepts and understand which local impact factors influence the wind speed profile.

  3. 2. Robust TCO’s for CIGS solar cells based on indium tin oxide

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Julia Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : photovoltaics; solar cells; thin film photovoltaics; PV; TCO; transparent conductive oxide; indium tin oxide; ITO; CIGS; solar power; sputtering; RF sputtering; radio frequency sputtering;

    Abstract : The increasing energy demand, combined with the use of harmful non-renewable energy sources calls for the search of alternative methods to cover our energy need.Renewable energy can be harvested in different ways, through the movement of wind and water, biomass, or directly from the rays of the sun, as in the case of photovoltaic (PV) devices.

    Abstract : Accurate forecasts of wind speed and power production are of great value for wind power producers. In Southwest Iceland, wind power installations are being planned by various entities. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaporation Duct Modelling for a Wave-Propagation Simulator

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Oscar Eklund; [2022]
    Keywords : evaporation; duct; height; monin; obukhov; mos; surface; layer; ssft; byc; pj; businger; dyer; beljaars; holtslag; cheng; brutsaert; sheba;

    Abstract : Long-range communication proves to be a challenge due to the Earth’s curvature, since electromagnetic waves propagate away from the Earth’s surface in a free atmosphere. A possible solution to beyond line-of-sight communication is the atmospheric phenomenon known as the evaporation duct. READ MORE

  6. 5. Improvement of Pt-based catalyst supported on CeZrO2 used for the high-temperature water-gas shift reaction

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Milda Grikainyte; [2022]
    Keywords : Water-gas shift; catalyst; chemical engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The iron-chromium (Fe/Cr) catalyst is used for high-temperature water-gas shift (HT WGS) reaction. A major concern using the Fe/Cr catalyst is that it contains hexavalent chromium (Cr+6) which is a potent carcinogen causing health and environmental issues. READ MORE
