2. 1. 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

4. 2. Studies of planetary waves in ozone and temperature fields as observed by the Odin satellite in 2002-2007

   Author : Alla Belova; Sheila Kirkwood; Andrew Klekociuk; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; middle atmosphere dynamics; planetary waves; 5-day planetary wave; temperature-ozone relationship; Odin satellite; Atmosphere and hydrosphere sciences; Atmosfärs- och hydrosfärsvetenskap;

   Abstract : The results presented in this PhD thesis are mainly based on measurements collected by the advanced sub-mm radiometer (SMR) aboard the Odin satellite in 2002-2007. The primary data are series of temperature and ozone profiles in the middle atmosphere up to 68 km. READ MORE

5. 3. Characterization of soot in air and rain over southern Asia

   Author : Erik J. Engström; Caroline Leck; Henning Rodhe; Paolo Laj; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; soot; black carbon; atmospheric concentration; light absorption; wet deposition; scavenging; wash-out ratio; South-Asia.; Atmosphere and hydrosphere sciences; Atmosfärs- och hydrosfärsvetenskap;

   Abstract : Filter-based optical measurements of light absorbing particulate matter at awavelength of about 550 nm, here referred to as soot, in air and rainwaterhave been performed during the period from 1st June 2005 to 31th May 2009at Godavari in Nepal, Sinhagad in India and Hanimaadhoo in The Maldives.A method for determination of water-insoluble light absorbing matter inrainwater has been developed.

6. 4. Properties and Origin of Arctic Aerosols

   Author : Ann-Christine Engvall; Jörg Gumbel; Frode Stordal; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arctic aerosols; Arctic troposphere; air-mass transport; Atmosphere and hydrosphere sciences; Atmosfärs- och hydrosfärsvetenskap; atmosfärvetenskap; Atmospheric Sciences;

   Abstract : The present thesis deals with the origin and physics of aerosols in the Arctic atmosphere. These show a large annual variability due to changes of the photochemical and cloud processes as well as of the synoptic-scale atmospheric pressure patterns. READ MORE

7. 5. Meteoric Aerosols in the Middle Atmosphere

   Author : Linda Megner; Jörg Gumbel; Martin Ridal; Gary E. Thomas; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; meteoroid; meteor; nucleation; mesosphere; stratosphere; ablation; smoke; NLC; PMSE; PSC; Atmosphere and hydrosphere sciences; Atmosfärs- och hydrosfärsvetenskap; atmosfärvetenskap; Atmospheric Sciences;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns the fate of the meteoric smoke in the Middle Atmosphere, and its effect on ice phenomena such as noctilucent clouds (NLC) and polar stratospheric clouds (PSC). The potential role of NLC as tracer for mesospheric processes and variability, and as a tool for monitoring this remote and inaccessible region, has generated substantial interest within the scientific community.
