  1. 6. In search for interannual and interdecadal relations between climate variability and continental freshwater discharge to the Mediterranean Sea

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Guido Sabatini; [2014]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Variability of atmospheric circulation is considered one of the most important factors causing interannual and interdecadal variability of freshwater amount that is discharged from the continents. Here it is presented an analysis of the relations between the discharge variability of five major rivers in the Mediterranean basin (i.e. READ MORE

  3. 7. Evaluation of Long-term Discharge in Swedish Rivers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Angelica Lidén; Karin Persson; [2012]
    Keywords : River Discharge Time Series; Sweden; Wavelet analysis; Northern Hemisphere Teleconnection Patterns and Decadal Oscillation.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Seasonal forecasting is not an easy task to deal with. A number of large scale atmospheric phenomena, e.g. Northern Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Scandinavia (SCA) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) affect the climate in Sweden and the effect on rivers is an integration of all the complex inter-relation among all these atmospheric phenomena.

  4. 8. Long term variability of Swedish river discharge as represented by EC-Earth in the past and future climates

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : David Corral Díaz; Olena Siergieieva; [2012]
    Keywords : Long term variability; climate change; downscaling; global climate model; Sweden; Fourier; wavelet; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to identify changes in pattern of long-term variability of seasonal discharge for the period 1851-2100 among four selected Swedish rivers based on output data from EC-Earth climate model. In order to achieve the main goal and be able to analyze and compare changes in patterns of variability of water discharge for the past time period 1851-2005 and future time-period 2006-2100, discharge peaks should be represented as oscillations of frequency.

  5. 9. Är Lerbodaälven verkligen en problemälv? : undersökning av fosforhalter

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Tina Persson; [2010]
    Keywords : fosfor; vattenkemiprovtagning; Lerbodaälven; referensvärde;

    Abstract : Lerbodaälven is a river in the municipality of Kil which, due to high phosphorus content is not meeting the requirements for good ecological status according to the Water Framework Directive. The purpose of this report is to investigate the causes for the high content of phosphorus that has been measured in Lerbodaälven between 1995-2010. READ MORE

  6. 10. A conceptual model about nutrients flow in Haapsalu bay

    University essay from KTH/Industriell ekologi

    Author : Dolores Soriano Falco; [1998]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Haapsalu Bay is a very shallow area consisting of semiclosed regions partly separated by peninsulas in the coastal zone of West Estonia. The main inflow of fresh water, 33.875.436 m3/year, from some small rivers (Ungru, Taebla, Vönnu, Asukula) falls into the eastern part of Haapsalu Bay, with the Nitrogen load 72. READ MORE
