  1. 1. Geothermal Potential of Sub-Volcanic Intrusions in a Typical Caldera Setting

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Einar Bessi Gestsson; [2018]
    Keywords : sub-volcanic intrusions; thermometry; numerical modeling; geothermal energy; magmaintrusioner; termometri; numerisk modell; geotermisk energi;

    Abstract : Sub-volcanic intrusions can form an extensive network of sills, dikes and other intrusion types that make up a plumbing system beneath volcanoes. Such intrusions are the heat source for high-temperature geothermal systems in volcanic areas and therefore, it is of great importance to study them in relation to geothermal exploration and production.

  3. 2. Magma Storage of the Alkaline Tejeda Cone Sheet Swarm, Gran Canaria, Spain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Max Jensen; [2016]
    Keywords : Gran Canaria; Tejeda cone sheet swarm; syenite; magma storage; thermobarometry; clinopyoxene; Gran Canaria; Tejeda inverterade kon-intrusioner; syenit; magma förvar; termobarometri; klinopyroxen;

    Abstract : Volcanoes with alkaline differentiated magma belong to the more explosive and destructive types, but knowledge about these systems is often limited. Unravelling the position and conditions in the source magma chamber systems that feed volcanism at the surface is vital to understand these systems better. READ MORE

  4. 3. Numerical Modelling of Convective Snow Bands in the Baltic Sea Area

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

    Author : Julia Jeworrek; [2016]
    Keywords : Shallow convection; extreme precipitation; Baltic Sea; SST; regional climate system modelling;

    Abstract : Convective snow bands develop commonly over the open water surface of lakes or seas when cold airgets advected from a continent. Enhanced heat and moisture fluxes from the comparatively warm waterbody trigger shallow convection and an unstable boundary layer builds up. READ MORE

  5. 4. An Investigation of the Relation between Sea Breeze Circulation and Diurnal Variation of Methane at a Swedish Lake

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

    Author : Martin Svensson; [2015]
    Keywords : WRF model; Sea breeze; methane emission; diurnal variation; internal boundary layer; WRF-modellen; sjöbris; metanemission; dygnsvariation; internt gränsskikt;

    Abstract : Methane measurements over lake Tämnaren show a pronounced diurnal variation with high values at night and low values during daytime. The atmosphere over the lake and its surroundings is simulated with two different settings and resolutions of the WRF model during a period of eight days in May 2011 to investigate if a lake/land breeze circulation could be the cause of the observed methane variation.

  6. 5. Using cloud resolving model simulations of tropical deep convection to study turbulence in anvil cirrus

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

    Author : Lina Broman Beijar; [2008]
    Keywords : cloud resolving model; tropical cirrus clouds; TRMM BLA experiment; anvil clouds;

    Abstract : Identifying the dynamical processes that are active in tropical cirrus clouds is important for understanding the role of cirrus in the tropical atmosphere. This study focuses on analyzing turbulent motions inside tropical anvil cirrus with the use of a Cloud Resolving Model. READ MORE
