  1. 1. Feedback effects in the Arctic region and how they affect the global climate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Lotta Nyman; [2020]
    Keywords : Arctic warming; Arctic change; Climate feedback effect; Lower latitude weather; Arctic amplification; Permafrost; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Arctic is warming at a rate two to three times that of the global average. Although only covering a small area of the globe, it is a vital component of the climate system. Through climatic feedback effects the warming is enhanced, and risks leading to further climate change. READ MORE

  3. 2. On the Profitability of Large-scale PV Plants in Sweden : Site Selection, Grid Connection and Design

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Annelie Westén; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The market for large scale PV plants in Sweden is growing, with six PV plants of 1 MWp or more beinginstalled today. The size of the newly installed plants has increased from 1 MWp to 5.5 MWp during thelast 5 years. As the market and size of the plants continue to grow, larger investments, risks and possibleprots will be built into the project. READ MORE

  4. 3. Feature Selection Methods with Applications in Electrical Load Forecasting

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Oscar Utterbäck; [2017]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Data Science; Electrical Load Forecasting; Short Term Load Forecasting; Feature Selection; Filter Methods; Mathematics and Statistics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is two-fold: implement and evaluate a method, the Fast Correlation-Based Filter (FCBF) by Yu et al., for feature selection applied on a meteorological data set consisting of 19 weather variables from 606 locations in Scandinavia, and investigate whether geography can be exploited in the search for relevant features.

  5. 4. Evaluation of Global Wave Climate Based on the JMA/MRI-AGCM Climate Change Projection

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Johanna Ekstedt; [2014]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this study global wave climates for present and future climates are simulated with the WAM model, based on wind fields from the JMA/MRI-AGCM3.2 climate projection. The projected wave fields are analysed and compared for the two periods of 1979-2003 and 2075-2099, and climate change induced differences are identified. READ MORE

  6. 5. The response of ecosystems to an increasingly variable climate

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Yuba Raj Subedi; [2012]
    Keywords : Extinction Risk; Extinction Threshold; Species Richness; Temperature Sensitivity; Temperature Variability; Tipping Points; Tolerance Curve; Weather Extremes;

    Abstract : A wide range of ecological communities ranging from polar terrestrial to tropical marine environments are affectedby global climate change. Over the last century, atmospheric temperature has increased by an average of 0. 60 C andis expected to rise by 1.1- 6. READ MORE
