  1. 1. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Bromwel Apondi; [2023-08-17]
    Keywords : Near-surface wind speed; the Greater Horn of Africa; ERA5; Wind power density; CORDEX-Africa;

    Abstract : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. READ MORE

  3. 2. A comparison of modelled precipitation in Greenland

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

    Author : Rebecca Vesterberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Greenland; precipitation; Surface mass balance; SMB; ice sheet; accumulation; ablation; sea level rise; Regional Climate Model; HIRHAM5; Numerical Weather Prediction model; HIRLAM7.3; biases; climate change; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Greenland ice sheet develops throughout the year with the changing weather condi- tions. Precipitation contributes by increasing the mass, whilst warmth induces melting, which makes the ice sheet diminish. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of interpolation methods and boundary data interval resolution for the Lateral Boundary Conditions of Regional Climate Models

    University essay from KTH/Numerisk analys, NA

    Author : Maria Kootte; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A Regional Climate Model (RCM) is a comprehensive tool to simulate high- resolution climatic factors. A RCM is driven by low resolution data obtained from a Global Climate Model (GCM). READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of RCA & RCA GUESS and estimation of vegetation-climate feedbacks over India for present climate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nitin Chaudhary; [2011]
    Keywords : India; vegetation feedbacks; geography; climate change; GCMs; Validation; physical geography; RCMs; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Popular summary Changes in climate modify the terrestrial vegetation distribution that in turn affects the climate system by altering the balance of radiation, water, momentum, CO2 and other important atmospheric gases. This entire process is termed as vegetation-climate feedbacks. These feedbacks are studied by regional earth system model. READ MORE
