2. 1. Wind-wave interaction effects on offshore wind energy

   Author : Ali Al Sam; Strömningsteknik; []
   Keywords : wind-wave; swell; atmospheric boundary layer; marine atmospheric boundary layer; atmospheric turbulence; Large-eddy simulation; actuator line; wind sea; offshore technology; wind energy; wind turbine; aerodynamic;

   Abstract : This thesis is devoted to the investigation of the impacts of fast moving ocean surface waves on the aerodynamics of offshore wind turbines. The impacts of non-locally generated waves (swell) on the Marine Atmospheric BoundaryLayer (MABL) and thereby on offshore wind turbine aerodynamics are studied numerically by using Large Eddy Simulations and the Actuator Line Method.

4. 2. Characterization and forecasting of wind conditions over the Baltic Sea

   Author : Christoffer Hallgren; Erik Sahlée; Julie Lundquist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea; forecasting; low-level jet; lidar; machine learning; mesoscale meteorology; numerical weather prediction; post-processing; reanalysis; sea breeze; turbulence; wind atlas; wind energy; wind power; Meteorologi; Meteorology;

   Abstract : To meet the increasing demand of sustainably produced electricity, the total number of installed wind turbines is rapidly increasing globally. Although onshore installations are dominating, offshore wind power is taking a greater share of the market every year. READ MORE

5. 3. Mesoscale Processes over the Baltic Sea

   Author : Nina Svensson; Erik Sahlée; Hans Bergström; Anna Rutgersson; Søren Larsen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Boundary layer; Baltic Sea; stable conditions; low-level jet; sea breeze; boundary layer rolls; mesoscale effects; WRF; LIDAR;

   Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to study mesoscale processes above the Baltic Sea, which is a small, semi-enclosed sea where land-sea interaction may have a large impact on the offshore conditions. It is only the last tens of years that offshore research has become more popular, and one reason for this is the increasing offshore wind energy, which poses the need for accurate estimates of wind speed and turbulence conditions in the marine environment.

6. 4. Light conditions in seasonally ice-covered waters : within the Baltic Sea region

   Author : Elina Kari; Susanne Kratzer; Matti Leppäranta; Monika Winder; Tiit Kutser; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Seasonal sea ice; Fast ice; Drift ice; Phytoplankton spring bloom; Under-ice plume; Turbidity; Suspended particulate matter; Chlorophyll; Coloured dissolved organic matter; Baltic Sea; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

   Abstract : Seasonal ice cover is a major driver of seasonality in aquatic ecosystems in the Baltic Sea region. Ice cover influences the underwater light conditions directly by limiting the light transfer and indirectly by modifying the mixing and circulation under the ice. READ MORE

7. 5. Oceanographic studies of the Baltic Sea with emphasis on sea ice and mixing processes

   Author : Christian Nohr; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea; Water and Heat budgets; Deep-water mixing; Internal Wavedrag; Dynamical Sea Ice production; Sea Ice dynamics;

   Abstract : This thesis comprises of model estimates of the water and heat budgets, re-estimating of the budget of deep-water mixing energy, model studies of generation mechanisms for internal waves, sea ice dynamermics and finally sea ice monitoring. Common site for all the studies are the Baltic Sea. READ MORE
