  2. 1. Making Meteorology : Social Relations and Scientific Practice

    Author : Mikaela Sundberg; Árni Sverrisson; Steven Yearley; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; scientific practice; social worlds; meteorology; climate research; Sociology; Sociologi;

    Abstract : This thesis is about the production of knowledge in meteorological research. Meteorology is an interesting case because of its crucial role in defining the climate change problem, but also because of its reliance on simulation modeling, a comparatively little studied scientific practice.

  4. 2. On the use of aerosol optical properties and satellite-retrieved trace gases in regional air quality modelling

    Author : Emma Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Model; Climate; Radiation; Satellite; Air Quality;

    Abstract : The effects of anthropogenic pollutants in the lower atmosphere (troposphere) have been shown, historically and scientifically, to have a deleterious effect on both plant and animal life. Pollutants such as near-surface ozone and soot (black carbon) are two notorious examples with clear anthropogenic sources. READ MORE

  5. 3. High-resolution simulations of two cold palaeo climates in Europe : MIS 3 and LGM

    Author : Gustav Strandberg; Erik Kjellström; Qiong Zhang; Johan Nilsson; Anders Moberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Palaeo climate; climate modelling; proxy data; LGM; MIS 3; meteorologi; Meteorology;

    Abstract : The study of past climate is important because it increases our understanding of how the climate system works. Past climate is often reconstructed by using proxies (that is observations of things that tell something about past climate, for example tree rings, pollen in lake sediments and fossils). READ MORE

  6. 4. Modelling the middle atmosphere and its sensitivity to climate change

    Author : Andreas Jonsson; Jörg Gumbel; Joanna Haigh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climate change; middle atmosphere; ozone; carbon dioxide; stratosphere; mesosphere; chemical kinetics; atmospheric tides; Meteorology; Meteorologi;

    Abstract : The Earth's middle atmosphere at about 10-100 km has shown a substantial sensitivity to human activities. First, the ozone layer has been reduced since the the early 1980s due to man-made emissions of halogenated hydrocarbons. READ MORE

  7. 5. Climate regulation provided by urban greening - examples from a high latitude city

    Author : Janina Konarska; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gothenburg; Sweden; high latitude city; urban greenery; urban trees; leaf area index; tree transpiration; sky view factor; mean radiant temperature; hemispherical photography; climate-sensitive planning;

    Abstract : Cities exert a strong influence on urban climate, and consequently on human health and wellbeing. This increases the importance of considering climate issues in urban planning, particularly in the context of global climate change. One of the key adaptation strategies in climate-sensitive planning is urban greenery. READ MORE
