  2. 1. Windstorms in Sweden - variations and impacts

    Author : Carin Nilsson; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climate impact; geostrophic wind; Gudrun; Anatol; wind throw; forest damage; storm damage; Sweden; wind climate; windstorm;

    Abstract : Windstorms have caused severe damage on several occasions in Sweden during the last century. A general concern about future projections of climate extremes has raised questions on the variations and impacts of windstorms. READ MORE

  4. 2. Simplified treatment of the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layer

    Author : Mohamed S. Smeda; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the evolution of the atmospheric planetary boundary layer, APBL, in which momentum and heat fluxes through the APBL are determined using the bulk values of wind and temperature within the layer. Two ways were explored and tested in determining the primary variables, i.e. READ MORE

  5. 3. On errors in meteorological data assimilation

    Author : Magnus Lindskog; Erland Källen; Nils. Gustafsson; Florence Rabier; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Meteorology; Meteorologi; meteorologi; Meteorology;

    Abstract : Data assimilation in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) optimally blends observations with atmospheric model data in order to obtain the best possible initial state for an atmospheric model prediction. Specification of error characteristics is an important part of data assimilation. READ MORE

  6. 4. On methods for estimating oceanic flow

    Author : Jenny A. U. Nilsson; Peter Lundberg; Peter Sigray; Bert Rudels; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ocean monitoring techniques; Barotropic flow; Baroclinic flow; Hydraulic theory; Baltic Sea; Bahía de Concepción; Oceanography; Oceanografi; Oceanography; oceanografi;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to estimate and possibly quantify ocean flow by utilizing conventional and novel observational methods as well as model results. Motionally induced voltages, from a cable-based observational system in the Baltic Sea, were analysed to determine their utility for ocean monitoring. READ MORE

  7. 5. Investigations of problems related to the choice of the initial state for numerical weather prediction models

    Author : Stefan Gollvik; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In numerical prediction models, where the wind and mass fields are described as free variables (so called primitive equation models), the initial state has to be carefully chosen, to avoid spurious oscillations in the forecast. This thesis deals with this initialization problem. READ MORE
