  2. 1. Evaporation and Heat-flux Aggregation in Heterogeneous Boreal Landscapes

    Author : Tony Persson; Sven Halldin; Dimitris Melas; Deliang Chen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrology; land-surface processes; heterogeneity; surface fluxes; soil-water content; high latitudes; snow; lakes; climate; mesoscale model; NOPEX; WINTEX; Hydrologi; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

    Abstract : The boreal forests represent 8 % of all forested areas on the earth and have a significant role in the control of greenhouse gases and an impact on global climate change. The main objective of this thesis is to increase the understanding of how evaporation and heat-flux processes in the boreal forest zone are affecting the regional and global climate. READ MORE

  4. 2. Boundary-layer structure in flow over a heterogeneous surface

    Author : Patrick Samuelsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Meteorology; meteorologi;

    Abstract : Airborne measurements performed within the framework of NOPEX (Northern Hemisphere Land Surface Climate Processes Experiment) have been used to study processes related to fluxes of momentum, heat, and moisture in the boundary layer in the Swedish boreal region. The NOPEX area is characterized as heterogeneous with respect to vegetation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Land surface heat exchange over snow and frozen soil

    Author : David Gustafsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Surface energy balance; Snow; Boreal forest; SVAT models; Eddy-correlation Measurements; Latent heat flux; Sensible heat flux; Net radiation; Soil temperature; Aerodynamic roughness; Surface resistance; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : The energy exchange in the soil-snow-vegetation-atmospheresystem was studied to improve the quantitative knowledge of thegoverning processes. The lack of such knowledge contributes tothe uncertainty in the applicability of many existing modelsindependent of the temporal or spatial scale. READ MORE

  6. 4. Boreal land surface water and heat balance : Modelling soil-snow-vegetation-atmosphere behaviour

    Author : David Gustafsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; soil; snow; land surface heat exchange; forest; arable land; eddy-correlation; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : The water and heat exchange in thesoil-snow-vegetation-atmosphere system was studied in order toimprove the quantitative knowledge of land surface processes.In this study, numerical simulation models and availabledatasets representing arable land, sub-alpine snowpack, andboreal forest were evaluated at both diurnal and seasonaltimescales.
