1. Improvement of Wind Power Forecasting and Prediction of Production Losses Caused by Ice Formation on Wind Turbine Blades : - A Machine Learning Approach
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysikAbstract : In the ongoing climate crisis, transitioning to renewable energy sources is essential to manage the increasing energy demand. One such renewable energy source is the weather-dependent energy source, wind power. Many wind farms are located in Cold Climate (CC) regions, known for their vast potential for wind power production. READ MORE

2. Improving Visibility Forecasts in Denmark Using Machine Learning Post-processing
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Accurate fog prediction is an important task facing forecast centers since low visibility can affect anthropogenic systems, such as aviation. Therefore, this study investigates the use of Machine Learning classification algorithms for post-processing the output of the Danish Meteorological Institute’s operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model to improve visibility prediction.

3. A Case Study Evaluating the Performance of the NWP model HARMONIE in Simulating Convective Snowbands
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Convective snow bands forming over the Baltic Sea can result in heavy precipitation along the Swedish east coast. Forecasting these events well is of great importance to prevent road traffic injuries, increased pressure at hospitals and cancelled bus traffic. READ MORE

4. Verification of HARMONIE-AROME, ECMWF-IFS and WRF: Visibility and Cloud Base Height
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Visibility and cloud base height are two important parameters within aviation meteorology and verification of operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) models with regard to these two parameters is therefore important. Visibility is often parameterized through an extinction coefficient, which is dependent on for example liquid or ice water content, however it also depends on the humidity, precipitation intensity and particle concentration.

5. Improving Short-Range Cloud Forecasts in Harmonie-Arome Through Cloud Initialization Using Mesan Cloud Data
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Previous studies, such as van der Veen (2012) and White et al. (2017), have demonstrated the potential of using measurement-based cloud data to improve Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) based cloud forecasts. This can be done through cloud initialization; a process of injecting cloud data after the regular data assimilation in an NWP model. READ MORE
