1. 1. Shallow near-surface lapse rates and their connection to glacier meteorology on Storglaciären and Rabots glaciär, Northern Sweden

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Moon Taveirne; [2022]
   Keywords : Temperature lapse rate; glacier meteorology; near-­surface lapse rate; ablation gradient;

   Abstract : Glacier melt is strongly impacted by climate and meteorology. Temperature lapse rates are used to model glacier melt, and the accuracy of the spatial distribution of modelled melt can be impacted by the lapse rate used in modelling. Additionally, the observed spatial distribution of melt is highly temporally variable. READ MORE

3. 2. Climate Change and Precipitation Variability Influence on the Greenland Ice Sheet

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

   Author : Jennie Olsson; [2018]
   Keywords : Physics; Ice Sheet; Surface Mass Balance; SMB; Representative Concentration Pathways; RCP; Climate Change; Greenland; Precipitation; Precipitation Variability; Glaciers; Glacier; Meteorology; Greenhouse Effect; Greenhouse Gas; Future Climate; Climate; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Climate changes have a large impact on precipitation patterns and precipitation variability change. With this in mind, precipitation over Greenland is studied. This is done for present day precipitation model data from 1991-2010 compared to future model simulations of precipitation for 2081-2100. READ MORE
