  1. 11. Development of PSC detection tools using IRF lidar data

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Oriol Peláez Mercadal; [2020]
    Keywords : atmospheric science; polar stratospheric clouds; lidar; data analysis;

    Abstract : Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play a crucial role in ozone depletion mechanisms. Thus, their observations are important to understand their formation processes and active effects towards the atmosphere. READ MORE

  3. 12. Deriving characteristics of thin cirrus clouds from observations with the IRF lidar

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Jennifer Edman; [2019]
    Keywords : cirrus; lidar; polar regions; optical thickness; clouds; ice clouds; BSR; backscatter coefficient;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 13. Optimization of Cubesat-Compatible Plasma Ion Analyzer for Asteroid Composition Analysis

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Ivan Zankov; [2019]
    Keywords : Asteroid Composition Analyzer ACA Hera HERA APEX ESA Mission Exploration Didymos Didymoon Sputtering Ion Mass Spectrometry Spectroscopy TOF Reflectron IRF;

    Abstract : Many space probes have conducted in situ explorations of asteroids, in recent decades, intent on identifying evidence of the solar system's earliest processes of formation within the asteroids' interiors. Several future asteroid missions are planned, among which include ESA's Hera mission to explore the Didymos binary asteroid pair. READ MORE

  5. 14. Retrospective simulations of heating consumption in French dwellings

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : David Glotin; [2018]
    Keywords : Energy efficiency; energy insecurity; renovation; fuel switch; backtesting; retrospective simulations; sensitivity analysis.;

    Abstract : Res-IRF is an energy-economy model of heating consumption in French dwellings developed at CIRED and calibrated against 2012. It is meant to project the evolution of the building stock and the heating demand by 2050 in response to socio-economic parameters, such as energy price and population, and public policies, such as thermal regulations or incentives for renovation.

  6. 15. Oil price shocks and trade

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Viktor Åkerström; Simon Ljungqvist; [2016]
    Keywords : Oil price shocks; trade balance; VAR; Orthogonalized Impulse Response Functions; Euro area; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This study aims to examine the effects of oil price shocks on the overall trade- and the non-oil trade balances for ten oil-importing Euro area countries. Theory suggests that the effects from an oil price shock on the oil component of the trade balance for oil importers is negative, but that the effect on the non-oil component is positive. READ MORE
