2. 1. Impact of Climate Change on Extreme Events: Insights from Asia and Scandinavia

   Author : Dong An; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; extreme events; precipitation extremes; droughts; climate variability; ENSO; climate model; climate projection; the Asia-Pacific region; scandinavia;

   Abstract : As climate has warmed significantly over past decades, numerous studies have confirmed a pattern of more frequent and more intense hydro-climate events across the globe, such as floods, heatwaves, and droughts. Analyzing the variability of climate events with reliable historical data records is one of the most direct approaches for understanding its patterns of change. READ MORE

4. 2. Uncertainties in tropical precipitation and radiative feedbacks under climate change

   Author : Alejandro Uribe Cortes; Thorsten Mauritsen; Frida Bender; Caroline Muller; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; radiative feedback; tropical precipitation; tropical extreme precipitation; climate modeling; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi;

   Abstract : Clouds have a significant impact on climate. They contribute to controlling the planetary energy balance, and the precipitation distribution. Global Climate Models (GCMs) designed to reproduce the state of the climate system, however, have difficulties representing clouds. READ MORE

5. 3. Internal Stresses in Wood Caused by Climate Variations

   Author : Staffan Svensson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction technology; climate variations.; sawn timber; kiln drying; mechano-sorption; hygro-mechanical; Wood; material testing; Anläggningsteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis is the result of a series of investigations on the hygro-mechanical behaviour of clear wood in the radial and tangential directions. Approximately half of the effort put into the investigations was concentrated on laboratory tests while the remaining effort was concentrated on modelling the observations made in the tests.

6. 4. National Appropriateness of International Climate Policy Frameworks in India, Brazil, and South Africa

   Author : Prabhat Upadhyaya; Björn-Ola Linnér; Mathias Fridahl; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Policy process; Institutions; Domestic Politics; Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions; National; Climate Policy; India; Brazil; South Africa; Institutional Capacity; Norms; Nationally Determined Contributions; Policyprocess; Institutioner; Nationellt Lämpliga Utsläppsminskande Åtgärder; Nationell; Klimatpolicy; Indien; Brasilien; Sydafrika; Institutionell kapacitet; Nationellt Fastställda Bidrag.;

   Abstract : How does the international climate policy frameworks influence the domestic institutional responses to climate mitigation in emerging economies? And how, in turn, do domestic institutions and politics in emerging economies influence the fate of international climate policy frameworks? The thesis provides answers to these questions by studying domestic engagements with Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions in three emerging economies – India, Brazil, and South Africa. The thesis specifically studies how these engagements were influenced by the domestic institutional context provided by national climate policy, norms, and institutional capacity in the three countries.

7. 5. Changes in near-surface winds across Sweden over the past decades - Observations and simulations

   Author : Lorenzo Minola; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mean and gust wind speed; stilling-reversal phenomena; regional climate models; climate reanalyses; ERA5; parametrization; NAO; extratropical cyclones; surface roughness; Sweden;

   Abstract : Driven by a combination of anthropogenic activities and climate changes, near- surface terrestrial winds displayed a large decrease in their magnitude in the past decades, named “stilling”, and a recent recovery in their slowdown. Understanding how wind has changed and identifying the factors behind the observed variabilities is crucial so that reasonable future wind scenarios can be constructed. READ MORE
