1. Verification of HARMONIE-AROME, ECMWF-IFS and WRF: Visibility and Cloud Base Height
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Visibility and cloud base height are two important parameters within aviation meteorology and verification of operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) models with regard to these two parameters is therefore important. Visibility is often parameterized through an extinction coefficient, which is dependent on for example liquid or ice water content, however it also depends on the humidity, precipitation intensity and particle concentration.

2. The electricity demand andsupply in El Espino : Alternatives for diversification of renewabletechnologies
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : The use of alternative fuels, particularly renewable energy sources, has been an important strategy to achieve greenhouse gas emission reductions. In Bolivia, many rural areas struggle with an unreliable power supply. READ MORE

3. Quantifying the Shadow Effect between Offshore Wind Farms with Idealized Mesoscale Models and Observed Wind Data
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Two post processing methods for quantifying the shadow effect of the offshore wind farm Princes Amalia (PA) onto Egmond aan Zee (OWEZ) wind farm are analyzed and benchmarked. The first method is the author’s proposed shadow effect determination method (SEDM), which quantifies an offshore wind farm’s shadow effect based on mesoscale WRF (Weather Research Forecast) idealized modeling and the observed frequency of the analyzed site’s wind conditions.

4. Case study of the extreme precipitation events in the south-western part of Sweden, August 2014
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : In August 2014, parts of south-western Sweden were flooded due to intense precipitation. It caused large material damages and problems in the infrastructure. Since the sea surface temperature (SST) was higher than normal during the month, it was speculated that it was one of the reasons for the heavy precipitation. READ MORE

5. Uncertainty Analysis of Long Term Correction Methods for Annual Average Winds
University essay from Institutionen för fysikAbstract : For the construction of a wind farm, one needs to assess the wind resources of the considered site location. Using reference time series from numerical weather prediction models, global assimilation databases or observations close to the area considered, the on-site measured wind speeds and wind directions are corrected in order to represent the actual long-term wind conditions.
