  2. 1. Earth's albedo in a changing climate

    Author : Frida A-M Bender; Henning Rodhe; Annica Ekman; William Collins; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : albedo; Earth s radiative budget; cloud properties; climate sensitivity; CMIP3; GCMs; satellite observations; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; atmosfärvetenskap; Atmospheric Sciences;

    Abstract : The albedo is a key parameter in the radiative budget of the Earth and a primary determinant of the planetary temperature and is therefore also central to questions regarding climate stability, climate change and climate sensitivity. Climate models and satellite observations are essential for studying the albedo, and the parameters determining it, on large spatial and temporal scales. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. On the recent Arctic Warming

    Author : Rune Grand Graversen; Michael Tjernström; Erland Källén; John Walsh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; atmospheric energy transport; Meteorology; Meteorologi; atmosfärvetenskap; Atmospheric Sciences;

    Abstract : The Arctic region attracts considerable scientific interest in these years. Some of the Earth's most pronounced signs of the recent climate change are found here. The summer sea-ice cover is shrinking at an alarming rate. At the same time the region warms faster than the rest of the globe. READ MORE

  6. 4. Rocket-borne in situ measurements in the middle atmosphere

    Author : Jonas Hedin; Jörg Gumbel; Markus Rapp; Ove Havnes; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : rocket measurements; noctilucent clouds; meteoric smoke; nightglow; mesosphere; aerodynamics; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; atmosfärvetenskap; Atmospheric Sciences;

    Abstract : The Earth's mesosphere and lower thermosphere in the altitude range 50-130 km is a fascinating part of our atmosphere. Complex interactions between radiative, dynamical, microphysical and chemical processes give rise to several prominent phenomena, many of those centred around the mesopause region (80-100 km).

  7. 5. Noctilucent clouds in a coupled atmosphere

    Author : Bodil Karlsson; Peter Sigray; Jacek Stegman; Scott Bailey; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Noctilucent clouds; atmospheric dynamics; Meteorology; Meteorologi; atmosfärvetenskap; Atmospheric Sciences;

    Abstract : Noctilucent clouds (NLC) at altitudes around 80 km are the highest clouds in our atmosphere. They have been a subject of research ever since their discovery in the late 19th century. This thesis takes an important step towards using NLC as a tool for studying dynamic coupling processes in the atmosphere on a global scale. READ MORE
