  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Characteristics of Vertical Forest Backscatter Profiles Measured using Radar Tomography

    Author : Patrik Bennet; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Forest remote sensing; L-band; above-ground biomass; P-band; vertical reflectivity profiles; radar tomography; temporal backscatter variations;

    Abstract : Forests are an integral part of the Earth’s climate system, having shaped the conditions of life throughout millions of years, but the coverage and conditions of forests are under rapid change. To monitor this change and predict the impact on climate, yearly global mapping of forest Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) is needed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Turbulence-resolving simulations for engineering applications

    Author : Bastian Nebenführ; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LES; Aeroacoustics; Forest canopy; Airframe noise; hybrid RANS LES; Turbulence-resolving simulation; Wind-turbine fatigue loads; Wind power;

    Abstract : Most fluid flows of industrial interest are turbulent and their accurate representation may be of vital importance for the design process of new products. To date, steady RANS methods are usually employed for the simulation of turbulent flows of everyday engineering problems. READ MORE

  6. 4. The influence of clouds on Earth's radiation budget in global climate models

    Author : Johannes Karlsson; Gunilla Svensson; Henning Rodhe; Bjorn Stevens; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atmosphere and hydrosphere sciences; Atmosfärs- och hydrosfärsvetenskap; Meteorology; Meteorologi; Oceanography; Oceanografi; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

    Abstract : Considering the high sensitivity of climate to changes in cloudiness, the way clouds might change in a perturbed climate is important for the total temperature response. In fact, the cloud feedback has been identified as the main uncertainty in future projections, as simulated by global climate models. READ MORE
