2. 6. Sea Ice and Ocean Environmental Applications of Spaceborn SAR

   Author : Sverre Thune Dokken; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Radarsat; SSM I; ERS-1 2; ocean applications; sea ice applications; numerical models; SAR; Arctic Ocean; Envisat; climate change;

   Abstract : The worldwide focus on our changing environment has led to an increased need to observe and characterise a range of environmental phenomena. The Arctic Ocean is particularly sensitive to climate variations. READ MORE

4. 7. Characterization and forecasting of wind conditions over the Baltic Sea

   Author : Christoffer Hallgren; Erik Sahlée; Julie Lundquist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea; forecasting; low-level jet; lidar; machine learning; mesoscale meteorology; numerical weather prediction; post-processing; reanalysis; sea breeze; turbulence; wind atlas; wind energy; wind power; Meteorologi; Meteorology;

   Abstract : To meet the increasing demand of sustainably produced electricity, the total number of installed wind turbines is rapidly increasing globally. Although onshore installations are dominating, offshore wind power is taking a greater share of the market every year. READ MORE

5. 8. Simulations of Coastal Atmospheric Dynamics and Transport Processes

   Author : Ragothaman Sundararajan; Dimitris Melas; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; coastal atmosphere; dynamics; transport; Lagrangian particle dispersion model; mesoscale model; turbulence; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Meteorology; meteorologi;

   Abstract : The marine atmosphere can be highly variable in space and time, and the coastal terrain plays a crucial role in influencing its properties. These, in turn, determine the atmospheric transport in the coastal zone. READ MORE

6. 9. Mesoscale dynamics and boundary-layer structure in topographically forced low-level jets

   Author : Stefan Söderberg; Michael Tjernström; Branko Grisogono; Douw G. Steyn; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; low-level jets; boundary layer; turbulence structure; Meteorology; Meteorologi;

   Abstract : Two types of mesoscale wind-speed jet and their effects on boundary-layer structure were studied. The first is a coastal jet off the northern California coast, and the second is a katabatic jet over Vatnajökull, Iceland. READ MORE

7. 10. Nano- and mesoscale morphology evolution of metal films on weakly-interacting surfaces

   Author : Bo Lü; Kostas Sarakinos; Peter Münger; Thomas Michely; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Thin films are structures consisting of one or several nanoscale atomic layers of material that are used to either functionalize a surface or constitute components in more complex devices. Many properties of a film are closely related to its microstructure, which allows films to be tailored to meet specific technological requirements. READ MORE
