2. 1. Studies of stratocumulus-topped boundary layers using a numerical weather prediction model

   Author : Robert Sigg; Peter Duynkereke; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; meteorologi; Meteorology;

   Abstract : Persistent stratocumulus clouds are commonly observed in many areas on Earth. In general, stratocumulus clouds cool the Earth-atmosphere system due to their influence on the radiation budget. It is therefore essential to describe such clouds accurately in climate and numerical weather prediction models. READ MORE

4. 2. Investigating aerosol effects on stratocumulus clouds through large-eddy simulation

   Author : Ines Bulatovic; Annica Ekman; Caroline Leck; Ilona Riipinen; Daniel Grosvenor; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aerosol particles; stratocumulus; mixed-phase clouds; cloud microphysics; cloud radiative effects; Arctic; Arctic amplification; LES; aerosolpartiklar; stratusmoln; underkylda vattendroppar och iskristaller; molnmikrofysik; molnstrålningseffekter; Arktis; ”large-eddy simulation”; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi;

   Abstract : Clouds have a large impact on Earth’s radiative budget by reflecting, absorbing and re-emitting radiation. They thus play a critical role in the climate system. Nevertheless, cloud radiative effects in a changing climate are highly uncertain. READ MORE

5. 3. Inverse Modeling of Cloud – Aerosol Interactions

   Author : Daniel Partridge; Johan Ström; Kari Lehtinen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stratocumulus; marine; cloud; aerosol; interactions; MCMC; inverse modeling; droplet closure; global sensitivity; Atmosphere and hydrosphere sciences; Atmosfärs- och hydrosfärsvetenskap; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : The role of aerosols and clouds is one of the largest sources of uncertainty in understanding climate change. The primary scientific goal of this thesis is to improve the understanding of cloud-aerosol interactions by applying inverse modeling using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation. READ MORE

6. 4. Arctic Atmospheric Rivers : Eulerian and Lagrangian features, and trends over the last 40 years

   Author : Cheng You; Michael Tjernström; Abhay Devasthale; Heikki Järvinen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arctic; Atmospheric river; Stratocumulus; Blocking; Turbulence; Longwave irradiance; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

   Abstract : Arctic Atmospheric rivers, termed ‘warm-and-moist intrusion’ (WaMAI) in this thesis, transporting heat and moisture into the Arctic from lower latitudes, is a key contributor to the amplified warming in the Arctic under global change (Arctic Amplification). However, the warming effect of WaMAIs and its transformation along the trajectories into high Arctic still remain unclear, as well as their relation with the large-scale atmospheric circulation.

7. 5. Processes important for forecasting of clouds over snow

   Author : Martin Hagman; Gunilla Svensson; Victoria Sinclair; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Boundary-layer meteorology; WRF; Initialization; Stratocumulus clouds; Parameterization; Stable boundary layer; Single Column Model; meteorologi; Meteorology;

   Abstract : The Swedish Armed Forces setup of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) has problems to forecast low clouds in stably stratified conditions when the ground is covered by snow. The aim of this thesis is to understand what causes this deficit. READ MORE
