1. Analysis of Observed Discrepancies in Precipitation Measurements in the Complex Terrain of East-Iceland
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Spatial distribution of precipitation in complex terrain can be very uneven and there are many factors to consider when studying it. The goal of this study was such a problem; to analyse the difference in observed annual precipitation in the complex terrain of Seyðisfjörður, a fjord in East-Iceland. The study was carried out in three parts. READ MORE

2. 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

4. Synoptic Variability of Extreme Snowfall in the St. Elias Mountains, Yukon, Canada
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Glaciers of southwestern Yukon (Canada) and southeastern Alaska (USA) are presently experiencing high rates of annual mass loss. These high melt rates have mainly been investigated with respect to regional temperature trends, but comparatively little is known about how climate variations regulate snow accumulation on these glaciers.
