  1. 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 fysik

    Author : Emelie Sjökvist; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 2. Greenhouse gas emissions and carbon burial in a small pond

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Maria Carlson; [2023]
    Keywords : Pond; greenhouse gas; carbon dioxide; methane; nitrous oxide; flux; ebullition; carbon burial; Damm; växthusgas; koldioxid; metan; lustgas; flöde; ebullition; kolbindning;

    Abstract : There are a lot of uncertainties when it comes to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which affects society’s ability to effectively respond to climate change. Small ponds have been found to potentially play a large role in global warming. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of probabilistic forecasts in Uppsala and its potential use in winter road maintenance

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

    Author : Elisabet Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : forecast evaluation; ensemble system; MetCoOp; winter road maintenance; snow removal; utvärdering; ensembelprognos; MetCoOp; snöröjning; vinterväghållning;

    Abstract : Efficient winter road maintenance is crucial for safety and societal function during the winter months in Sweden. This report aims to evaluate the MetCoOp ensemble system CMEPS and investigate its potential use as a basis for formulating criteria for snow removal that accounts for forecasted weather. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling the Occurrence and Fate of Microplastics Caused by Tyre Wear on Highway E18

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

    Author : Aniruddha Kshirsagar; [2023]
    Keywords : Tyre Wear Plastics; stormwater system; Microplastics; settling; hetero-aggregation; modelling; Modellering; mikroplaster;

    Abstract : The accumulation of microplastics (MPs) are a growing concern for the environment, the maximum contributor to the MP pollution is tyre wear particles or TWPs. TWPs can accumulate in the environment and remain there for long periods of time and hence have the ability to disrupt ecosystems. READ MORE

  6. 5. Methane Sulphonic Acid in East Antarctic Coastal Firn and Ice Cores and Its Relationship with Chlorophyll-a and Sea Ice Extent in the Southern Ocean

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Emma Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : methane sulphonic acid; firn cores; sea ice proxy; marine primary productivity; Fimbul Ice Shelf; Dronning Maud Land; metansulfonsyra; firnkärnor; havsis-proxy; marin primärproduktion; Fimbulisen; Dronning Maud Land;

    Abstract : The seasonal retreat of sea ice in the austral spring and summer around Antarctica has a significant effect on phytoplankton activity, mainly due to light availability, meltwater input of dissolved iron, and surface water stratification. Phytoplankton produce dimethylsulfoniopropionate, the precursor to the climate-cooling gas dimethyl sulphide, which is ventilated to the atmosphere and oxidised to methane sulphonic acid (MSA).
