  2. 1. Improved data analysis methods for the millimetre-wave observation of strato-mesospheric ozone and winds over Northern Sweden

    Author : Rita Edit Kajtar; Mathias Milz; Uwe Raffalski; Victoria Barabash; Eliane Maillard Baras; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atmospheric science; Atmosfärsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis analyses and discusses the work done to improve an ozone retrieval method. The newly implemented method aims to invert emission spectra measured with the millimetre-wave radiometers KIMRA and MIRA2 at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Kiruna. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular Doping of Polar Conjugated Polymers

    Author : David Kiefer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thermal stability; dopant dianion; air stability; compatibility; polar conjugated polymer; double doping; molecular doping;

    Abstract : Organic semiconductors may enable a wide range of flexible electronics, such as flexible displays or solar cells. Conjugated polymers constitute one of the most widely studied class of organic semiconductors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Retrieval of ocean surface winds and currents using satellite synthetic aperture radar and infrared radiometry

    Author : Gisela Carvajal; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; surface currents; infrared radiometry; synthetic aperture radar; surface winds; maximum cross correlation; wind direction;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the development, analysis and evaluation of methods for the retrieval of ocean surface winds with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and surface currents with infrared (IR) radiometer sensors. The SAR wind speed retrievals are based on geophysical model functions using wind directions obtained with two approaches. READ MORE

  6. 4. Diurnal variation of stratospheric short-lived species

    Author : Maryam Khosravi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; chlorine monoxide; short-lived species; Arctic ClO; diurnal variation; tropical middle stratosphere; Arctic stratosphere;

    Abstract : Diurnal variation of stratospheric short-lived speciesMaryam KhosraviChalmers University of TechnologyDepartment of Earth and Space SciencesAbstractThe depletion of ozone in the stratosphere has a direct impact on the amount of ultravioletradiation reaching the Earth’s surface. The ozone abundance and distributionis controlled by the photo-chemical reactions and catalytic cycles involving halogens(chlorine and bromine), odd hydrogen and odd nitrogen species as well as by atmospherictransport.

  7. 5. Viral Loop Dynamics in Temperate and Polar Freshwaters

    Author : Christin Säwström; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; akvatisk ekologi; aquatic ecology; marine biology; Hydrobiology; temperate; polar; freshwaters; nutrient limitation; bacterial mortality; lysogeny; dissolved organic carbon; humic; Arctic; Antarctic; Bacteria; Virus; limnology; Marinbiologi; limnologi;

    Abstract : All cellular organisms in aquatic environments are susceptible to virus attack. Viruses are the smallest but most abundant biological entities in freshwaters. This thesis describes interactions between viruses and bacteria in temperate and polar freshwaters with particular emphasis on Arctic and Antarctic aquatic systems. READ MORE
