  2. 1. Spatial variations of the urban climate and its influence on thermal comfort and behaviour

    Author : Fredrik Lindberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sky view factor; air temperature; surface temperature; GIS; raster modelling; mean radiant temperature; globe temperature; the SOLWIEG-model; human behaviour; outdoor activity;

    Abstract : The increased number of people living in urban areas emphasises the need for an improved understanding of how the urban climate affects human activity and behaviour. The spatial and temporal variation of climate within cities is an important factor in people’s health and well-being. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modelling of the daytime and night-time urban thermal environment

    Author : Shiho Onomura; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; urban thermal environment; microclimate modelling; air temperature; mean radiant temperature; nocturnal cooling rates; synoptic weather types;

    Abstract : The world’s urban population is expected to increase over the coming decades. To maintain and improve the health and well-being of urban citizens, it is important to increase our knowledge and develop methods for evaluating the urban thermal environment to support urban planning.

  5. 3. Development of the Wind and Air Temperature Sensor of the ExoMars 2022 HABIT Instrument

    Author : Álvaro Soria-Salinas; María-Paz Zorzano Mier; Javier Martin-Torres; Patel Manish; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mars; Atmosphere; Heat transfer; Forced convection; Wind; Space instrumentation; Exploration; Atmospheric science; Atmosfärsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This work presents the development, validation and calibration of the air temperature sensors (ATS) and the air and wind retrieval method of the HABIT (HabitAbility: Brines, Irradiation and Temperature) instrument. HABIT is one of the two European  payloads of the ESA/Roscosmos ExoMars 2022 mission that will land at Oxia Planum (18.20° N, 335. READ MORE

  6. 4. Causal links of past climate change in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 climate models

    Author : Thanh Le; MERGE: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; solar forcing; volcanic forcing; greenhouse gases radiative forcing; Granger causality; near-surface air temperature; ENSO; IOD; CMIP5; North Atlantic;

    Abstract : The climate system is influenced by various external forcings (e.g. volcanic forcing, solar forcing and change of greenhouse gas concentrations) and its own internal climate variability. READ MORE

  7. 5. Introducing Surface Gravity Waves into Earth System Models

    Author : Lichuan Wu; Anna Rutgersson; Erik Sahlée; Peter Janssen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface gravity waves; Air-sea interaction; Earth-System Model; Atmospheric mixing; Upper-ocean turbulence; Meteorology; Meteorologi;

    Abstract : Surface gravity waves alter the turbulence of the bottom atmosphere and the upper ocean. Accordingly, they can affect momentum flux, heat fluxes, gas exchange and atmospheric mixing. However, in most state-of-the-art Earth System Models (ESMs), surface wave influences are not fully considered or even included. READ MORE
