  1. 1. Insights Into Wind Profile Characteristics in the Arctic Marine Boundary Layer

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

    Author : Charlotte Sophie Gausa; [2024]
    Keywords : Arctic; wind profile power law; MOST; boundary layer; low level jets; sea ice; vindprofil; Arktis; gränsskikt; vindenergi; låghöjdsvindar; havsis;

    Abstract : The atmospheric boundary layer in the Arctic is essential for the understanding of climate change and improving regional weather prediction. The aim of this study is to investigate to which degree wind speed profiles retrieved in the Arctic agree with well known wind profile concepts and understand which local impact factors influence the wind speed profile.

  3. 2. Narratives for Climate Change Communication in Official Policy Reviews and Suggested Improvements to Aid Sustainable Energy Transition

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Paula Tamussino; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; Climate Change Communication; Narrative Research; Strategic Narratives;

    Abstract : There is a considerable gap between what scientists argue is necessary to avoid the most dramatic consequences of climate change and what governments around the world are currently achieving with their mitigation strategies and national pledges. This is partly due to the general inability to communicate solutions to climate change in a desirable way. READ MORE

  4. 3. Simulations of the Tenuous Upper Atmospheres of Exoplanets

  6. 5. Simulation of a prototype of the LDMX hadronic calorimeter and analysis of test beam data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Péter György; [2022]
    Keywords : LDMX; HCal; TS; prototype; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of dark matter in the mass range of 1 MeV - 1 GeV. It does so by looking for missing momentum and energy in collisions of an electron beam and a tungsten target, which could potentially indicate the existence of dark matter. READ MORE
