  1. 21. Validation of the dynamical core of the Portable University Model of the Atmosphere (PUMA)

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

    Author : Johan Liakka; [2006]
    Keywords : dynamic core validation; PUMA; temperature fields; vorticity fields;

    Abstract : A widely used dynamical core, PUMA (Portable University Model of the Atmosphere), is validated using the test case specifications introduced by Polvani et al. (2004). Dynamical cores are essential in every presently used AGCM (Atmospheric General Circulation Model), and deal with the dry, adiabatic primitive equations. READ MORE

  3. 22. Nearshore hydrodynamics at Hai Hau Beach, Vietnam : field measurements and wave modeling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Mona Sjödahl; Zahra Kalantari; [2005]
    Keywords : teknisk geografi; Red River Delta; coastal erosion; Vietnam; wave transformation; sediment transport; soil mechanics; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; STWAVE; Hydrogeology; geographical and geological engineering; teknisk geologi; Hydrogeologi; offshore technology; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Many of the coastal areas in Vietnam have elevations below one meter making them vulnerable to salt water intrusion, flooding, and erosion. The Red River Delta (RRD) located in northern Vietnam has suffered severe erosion along certain stretches of coastline during at least the last hundred years. READ MORE

  4. 23. The wind field in coastal areas

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

    Author : Niklas Sondell; [2001]
    Keywords : coastal meteorology; internal boundary layer; effect of surface properties; wind field; stability effects;

    Abstract : The land-sea transition in coastal areas makes the meteorological conditions rather complex and the structure of the coastal boundary layer is important for many reasons. Two examples are air pollution dispersion and wind energy potential. The wind field off the coast when offshore flow is present has been studied. READ MORE
