  1. 1. Quality assessment of private weather station Netatmo

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

    Author : Viktor Israelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : netatmo; meteorology; smhi; weatherstation; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Netatmo is a brand of private weather stations that over the past decade, in many countries, have grown to outnumber the number of government based weather stations. In most fields of research, a high number of data points can increase accuracy and precision. READ MORE

  3. 2. Anticipating Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs): an impact-based forecasting framework for managing GLOF risks in Nepal.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Grace Muir; [2023]
    Keywords : Anticipatory Action; Impact-based Forecasting; Glacier Lake Outburst Flood; Nepal; Risk-informed Early Action; Prediction; Disaster Risk Management; Science General;

    Abstract : Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are an increasingly documented threat across the Himalayan region, wherein Nepal is situated. GLOFs involve a rapid discharge of water from a lake situated at the side, front, within, beneath, or on the surface of a glacier. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of probabilistic forecasts in Uppsala and its potential use in winter road maintenance

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