  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. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Keywords : crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Abstract : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. READ MORE

  4. 3. Offshore Wind Farms in Norway : A Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis for Optimal Site Location

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

  6. 5. Heat Stress at Playgrounds A case Study in Gothenburg, Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Johanna Rasmussen; [2023-08-17]
    Keywords : Heat Stress; Thermal Comfort; Tmrt; SOLWEIG; TreePlanter; Children; Playgrounds;

    Abstract : The climate will change in the future as it will become warmer with higher temperatures generating extreme weather events such as heat waves. Children are a particularly vulnerable group when it comes to being exposed to heat which is partly due to the fact that they have a harder time thermoregulating themselves. READ MORE
