  1. 11. Flux Attenuation due to Sensor Displacement over Sea

    University essay from Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Erik Nilsson; [2007]
    Keywords : Meteorology; Attenuation; Sensible Heat Flux; Eddy Correlation; Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer; Complex Error Function;

    Abstract : In this study the flux attenuation due to sensor displacement has been investigated over sea using an extensive set of data from the "Ocean Horizontal Array Turbulence Study". All previous investigations of the flux attenuation have been performed over land. READ MORE

  3. 12. Effects of Upwelling Events on the Atmosphere

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

    Author : Susanna Hagelin; [2006]
    Keywords : upwelling; marine boundary layer; air-sea interaction; turbulent fluxes;

    Abstract : During an upwelling event the cold bottom-water is brought to the sea surface. This cools the atmosphere from below and the stratification becomes more stable. When the atmosphere is more stable the turbulence is reduced and, as a consequence, so are the turbulent fluxes. READ MORE

  4. 13. Effect of resuspension on mineralisation of organic material : Laboratory studies of water movement intensity and concentration of suspended sediment

    University essay from Institutionen för tematisk utbildning och forskning

    Author : Charlotte Stenborg Larsson; [2005]
    Keywords : Mineralisation rate; organic material; resuspension; water movement intensity; suspended sediment;

    Abstract : The Earth’s surface contains of 71% oceans and a large part of the global carbon cycle takes place in the oceans. In the aquatic environment, the sediment-water interface plays an important role for the mineralisation of organic material. One factor that can affect the mineralisation is resuspension. READ MORE

  5. 14. Humidity Structures in the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer

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

    Author : Andreas Svensson; [2002]
    Keywords : marine boundary layer; air-sea interaction; Dalton number; turbulent fluxes; quadrant analysis;

    Abstract : The turbulence structure over the sea was studied with the emphasis on humidity. The data sets used came from the island of Östergarnsholm outside Gotland in the Baltic Sea. The study included spectral and quadrant analyses of the wind, temperature and humidity parameters from one measuring level. READ MORE

  6. 15. The wind field in coastal areas

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

    Author : Niklas Sondell; [2001]
    Keywords : coastal meteorology; internal boundary layer; effect of surface properties; wind field; stability effects;

    Abstract : The land-sea transition in coastal areas makes the meteorological conditions rather complex and the structure of the coastal boundary layer is important for many reasons. Two examples are air pollution dispersion and wind energy potential. The wind field off the coast when offshore flow is present has been studied. READ MORE
