  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. Drivers of sea level variability using neural networks

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Linn Carlstedt; [2023-05-10]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Understanding the forcing of regional sea level variability is crucial as many people all over the world live along the coasts and are endangered by extreme sea levels and the global sea level rise. The adding of fresh water into the oceans due to melting of the Earth’s land ice together with thermosteric changes has led to a rise of the global mean sea level with an accelerating rate during the twentieth century.

  4. 3. Urban flood risk mitigation : A perspective form urban planning

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Andreas Brandow; [2023]
    Keywords : Urban indicators; Resilience; Urban flooding; Flood protection and mitigation; Luleå;

    Abstract : Due to the global warming and climate change, an increased frequency of high intensity rains and other disasters are expected all around the world. To predict this change in climate the IPCC has created a set of climate scenarios, RCPs, that will try to predict the future climate based on how much we are able to adapt and mitigate the effects we as a species have on the environment.
