1. Location and Relocation of Seismic Sources
Sammanfattning : This dissertation is a comprehensive summary of four papers on the development and application of new strategies for locating tremor and relocating events in earthquake catalogs.In the first paper, two new strategies for relocating events in a catalog are introduced. LÄS MER
2. Retrieval of Ocean Surface Currents and Winds Using Satellite SAR backscatter and Doppler frequency shift
Sammanfattning : Ocean surface winds and currents play an important role for weather, climate, marine life, ship navigation, oil spill drift and search and rescue. In-situ observations of the ocean are sparse and costly. Satellites provide a useful complement to these observations. LÄS MER
3. Spatial Mixture Models with Applications in Medical Imaging and Spatial Point Processes
Sammanfattning : Finite mixture models have proven to be a great tool for both modeling non-standard probability distributions and for classification problems (using the latent variable interpretation). In this thesis we are building spatial models by incorporating spatially dependent categorical latent random fields in a hierarchical manner similar to that of finite mixture models. LÄS MER
4. Satellite microwave measurements of ice cloud properties
Sammanfattning : Ice clouds play an important role in Earth's radiation balance and climate because they reflect incoming sunlight and trap outgoing infrared radiation. There is still an uncertainty about how ice clouds will respond to the effects of global warming. Many climate models use prognostic cloud mass schemes to represent cloud feedbacks. LÄS MER
5. Spatial inference for non-lattice data using Markov Random fields
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with how computationally effective lattice models could be used for inference of data with a continuous spatial index. The fundamental idea is to approximate a Gaussian field with a Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) on a lattice. LÄS MER
