1. ASSESING HISTORICAL (1926-1996) NEAR-SURFACE WIND SPEED VARIABILITY ACROSS SWEDEN
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Homogenized near-surface wind speed (NSWS) series of 7 stations from rescued observational journals have been analyzed for the 70-years time-period 1926-1996 to investigate past changes and variations across Sweden. During the whole period, there has been a statistically significant (at p < 0.05) decreasing trend of -0.11 m s-1 decades-1. READ MORE

2. Compound Extreme Wind and Precipitation Events in Europe
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : The simultaneous occurrences of several extreme events, known as compound extremes, are often associated with greater impact than univariate extremes. Flooding and windstorms are widespread hazards in Europe which can lead to severe property damage and fatalities. READ MORE

3. Precipitation variability modulates the terrestrial carbon cycle in Scandinavia
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Climate variability and the carbon cycle (C-cycle) are tied together in complex feedback loops and due to these complexities there are still knowledge-gaps of this coupling. However, to make accurate predictions of future climate, profound understanding of the C-cycle and climate variability is essential. READ MORE

4. Stand Structure in a Heterogeneous Old-growth Norway Spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) Forest in Northern Sweden
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : This study investigate the growth trend in an unmanaged Norway spruce forest in Västerbotten Country, Sweden. The result indicate that relationship between the diameter at breast height (1.3 m) and height follow a statistical significant trendline, where taller trees also represent wider tree diamater.

5. Linking Jet Stream Variability and the NAO to the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle in Europe
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The terrestrial carbon cycle is a part of the global carbon cycle, where one important component is the terrestrial vegetation. Terrestrial vegetation largely controls the land surface carbon exchanges and leverage the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, significantly affecting the trajectory of global warming.
