1. Evaluating the accuracy of NEWA, ERA5 and NORA3 in predicting onshore wind conditions: a comparative study using ICOS meteorological mast data in Sweden
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5), the New European Wind Atlas (NEWA), and the 3 km Norwegian Reanalysis (NORA3) are reference datasets that are available for industry and research. The resolution of 3km in both the NORA3 and NEWA datasets sets them apart, while ERA5, with its 31km resolution, continues to serve as a reliable data source that is widely used in the industry.

2. Case Study of Discharge Modeling for Nissan River in Halmstad Municipality
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Changes in precipitation patterns, temperature, and other climatic variables have been shown to modify thehydrological cycle and hydrological systems, potentially resulting in a shift in river runoff behavior and an increasedrisk of floods. There have been several instances of devastating floods throughout Europe’s history, which haveresulted in devastation and enormous economic losses. READ MORE

3. Climate driven variability of wind energy over Europe
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : In the following report, two methods of wind downscalling are applied to reanalysed 10-m wind speed data from the ERA5 reanalysis of ECMWF, in order to derive wind speed data from 01/01/1979 till 31/12/2019 at the location of onshore wind farms from the ”World Wind Farm Database”. Being unable to use complex downscalling methods such as Generalisation (WAsP method- ology) nor Kriging interpolation, the study has been restricted to simple downscalling methods. READ MORE

4. Verification of HARMONIE-AROME, ECMWF-IFS and WRF: Visibility and Cloud Base Height
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Visibility and cloud base height are two important parameters within aviation meteorology and verification of operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) models with regard to these two parameters is therefore important. Visibility is often parameterized through an extinction coefficient, which is dependent on for example liquid or ice water content, however it also depends on the humidity, precipitation intensity and particle concentration.

5. Deriving characteristics of thin cirrus clouds from observations with the IRF lidar
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknikAbstract : Cirrus clouds play an important role in radiative transfer, and thus have impact on the energy balance of the atmosphere and the climate of the Earth. Furthermore, they occur often and cover large areas globally at any time. Nevertheless, cirrus clouds are poorly studied, especially in the polar regions. READ MORE
