  2. 1. Marine Current Resource Assessment : Measurements and Characterization

    Author : Nicole Carpman; Karin Thomas; Mats Leijon; Sandra Eriksson; Mairead Atcheson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ADCP; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : The increasing interest in converting energy from renewable resources into electricity has led to an increase in research covering the field of marine current energy, mainly concerning tidal currents and in-stream tidal turbines. Tides have the advantage of being predictable decades ahead. READ MORE

  4. 2. Resource characterization and variability studies for marine current power

    Author : Nicole Carpman; Karin Thomas; Mats Leijon; Sandra Eriksson; AbuBakr S. Bahaj; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Marine current energy; tidal currents; wake; variability; renewable energy; ADCP; flow measurement; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : Producing electricity from marine renewable resources is a research area that develops continuously. The field of tidal energy is on the edge to progress from the prototype stage to the commercial stage. READ MORE

  5. 3. A Novel Signal Model and Estimation Method for Acoustic Doppler Current Meters

    Author : Thomas L Lagö; Teknisk akustik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Doppler Profiler; Acoustic Doppler; Gaussian Backscattering Model; ADCM; ADCP; The Symmiktos Method; Estimation; Doppler; Current; MPCA.; Technological sciences; Teknik; Electromagnetism; optics; acoustics; Elektromagnetism; optik; akustik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the process of estimating underwater current from the backscattering signal transmitted from an ultrasonic transducer. The narrowband sinusoidal burst signal is Doppler-shifted due to the current, and this information is converted into current. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modeling rating curves from close-range remote sensing data : Application of laser and acoustic ranging instruments for capturing stream channel topography

    Author : Norris Lam; Steve W. Lyon; Jason W. Kean; Ida Westerberg; Helle Skånes; James Brasington; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser scanning; acoustic Doppler current profiler; hydraulic modeling; rating curves; Sweden; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : A rating curve provides a functional relationship between water height (i.e. stage) and discharge at a specified cross-section in a river. Used in combination with a time series of stage, rating curves become one of the central components for generating continuous records of streamflow. 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
