  2. 1. Near surface atmospheric flow over high latitude glaciers

    Author : Oskar Parmhed; Erland Källén; Branko Grisogono; Haraldur Ólafsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stable boundary layer; Ekman layer; Katabatic flow; gravity wave; low-level jets; Meteorology; Meteorologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis various descriptions of the near surface atmospheric flow over a high latitude glacier is used in an effort to increase our understanding of the basic flow dynamics there. Through their contribution to sea-level change, mountain glaciers play a significant role in Earth’s climate system. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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
