1. Insights Into Wind Profile Characteristics in the Arctic Marine Boundary Layer
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : 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.

2. Characterisation of Low-Level Jets and their Influence on Low-Level Clouds over the Baltic Sea; Östergarnsholm Observatory, Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/FörbränningsfysikAbstract : In this study, about two years of data from Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea are used to analyse offshore low-level clouds (LLCs) influenced by low-level jets (LLJs) in the marine atmospheric boundary layer. The LLJs are passages of strong horizontal winds near the surface and are measured using a Doppler LiDAR, which provides information about the wind speed and wind direction up to 300 meters.

3. Cloud Observations at a Coastal site – Analysis of Ceilometer Measurements from Östergarnsholm, Sweden
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : In this study, four and a half months of ceilometer data from Östergarnsholm are used to analyze cloud related to processes in the boundary layer. Measurements are divided into two categories, which are defined by wind direction: a continental and a marine sector. READ MORE

4. A geophysical survey (TEM; ERT) of the Punata alluvial fan, Bolivia
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : The Punata alluvial fan, situated in central Bolivia (Valle Alto) between the Altiplano and the lowlands, is an important aquifer for the local rural population. Due to rapid development and population growth in the area, the demand for fresh water has increased in recent year. READ MORE

5. Non-dimensional gradient functions for water vapor and carbon dioxide in the marine boundary layer
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : A better understanding of the exchange processes taking place over the oceans is of great importance since the oceans cover about 70 % of the Earth’s surface. With better knowledge the turbulent fluxes can be more accurate parameterized, which is essential in order to improve the weather- and climate models. READ MORE
