  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. Characterisation of Low-Level Jets and their Influence on Low-Level Clouds over the Baltic Sea; Östergarnsholm Observatory, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Johan Lundberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Low-level jets; Low-level clouds; LLJs; LLCs; Boundary layer; ABL; CBH; Lidar; Ceilometer; Turbulent intensity; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this study, about two years of data from Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea are used to analyse offshore low-level clouds (LLCs) influenced by low-level jets (LLJs) in the marine atmospheric boundary layer. The LLJs are passages of strong horizontal winds near the surface and are measured using a Doppler LiDAR, which provides information about the wind speed and wind direction up to 300 meters.

  4. 3. Cloud Observations at a Coastal site – Analysis of Ceilometer Measurements from Östergarnsholm, Sweden

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

    Author : Aron Stenlid; [2019]
    Keywords : Ceilometer; Stratocumulus; cloud base height; LCL; DLS; upwelling; cloud cover;

    Abstract : In this study, four and a half months of ceilometer data from Östergarnsholm are used to analyze cloud related to processes in the boundary layer. Measurements are divided into two categories, which are defined by wind direction: a continental and a marine sector. READ MORE

  5. 4. A geophysical survey (TEM; ERT) of the Punata alluvial fan, Bolivia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Joakim Mårdh; [2017]
    Keywords : electromagnetic; geophysics; TEM; Punata; alluvial fan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Punata alluvial fan, situated in central Bolivia (Valle Alto) between the Altiplano and the lowlands, is an important aquifer for the local rural population. Due to rapid development and population growth in the area, the demand for fresh water has increased in recent year. READ MORE

  6. 5. Non-dimensional gradient functions for water vapor and carbon dioxide in the marine boundary layer

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

    Author : Caroline Vahlberg; [2015]
    Keywords : Monin-Obukhov similarity theory; non-dimensional gradient functions; water vapor; carbon dioxide; marine boundary layer; turbulent fluxes; Monin-Obukhov similaritetsteori; dimensionslösa gradientfunktioner; vattenånga; koldioxid; marina gränsskiktet; turbulenta flöden;

    Abstract : A better understanding of the exchange processes taking place over the oceans is of great importance since the oceans cover about 70 % of the Earth’s surface. With better knowledge the turbulent fluxes can be more accurate parameterized, which is essential in order to improve the weather- and climate models. READ MORE
