  1. 1. "Share weather" : Design and evaluation of a new concept for sharing weather information

    Författare :Katarina Elevant; Stefan Hrastinski; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Already centuries ago, humans had observed the weather in their everyday lives, seeking ways to understand, comprehend, and predict it. Until the present day, weather has had tremendous impacts on our lives and with climate change human civilizations as well. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Optimal weather routing using ensemble weather forecasts

    Författare :Lukas Skoglund; Jakob Kuttenkeuler; Anders Rosén; Wengang Mao; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; route optimization; ensemble weather forecasts;

    Sammanfattning : Ships small and large all battle the elements when crossing the worlds oceans.  As such, ships are designed to operate in situations with high speed winds and heavy waves.  There are however limits to what any ship can handle safely and it is thus important to avoid the worst weather systems as much as possible.

  4. 3. Essays on forest conservation policies, weather and school attendance

    Författare :Laura Villalobos-Fiatt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Forest conservation policies; Education; weather;

    Sammanfattning : Sammanfattningar: Paper I Heterogena lokala spridningseffekter från skyddade områden i Costa Rica Spridningseffekter kan reducera eller förstärka nettopåverkan av policies kopplade till markanvändning. Relativt lite är emellertid känt om storleken på sådana effekter. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Understanding Weather effects on, in, and from large Herbivore Population Dynamics

    Författare :Lena Månsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; monitoring; management; data collection; Ecology; Ekologi; indirect effects; vegetation; modeling; time series analysis; precipitation; weather; population dynamics; Large herbivores;

    Sammanfattning : Large herbivores are monitored for various reasons in many areas around the world. Data from such monitoring can be of varying degree of detail and extent. Several studies have shown that we need extensive amounts of data with a high degree of detail to be able to understand anything from it. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Modelling Weather Dynamics for Weather Derivatives Pricing

    Författare :Emanuel Evarest Sinkwembe; Martin Singull; Xiangfeng Yang; Fredrik Berntsson; Erik Lindström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on developing an appropriate stochastic model for temperature dynamics as a means of pricing weather derivative contracts based on temperature. There are various methods for pricing weather derivatives ranging from simple one like historical burn analysis, which does not involve modeling the underlying weather variable to complex ones that require Monte Carlo simulations to achieve explicit weather derivatives contract prices, particularly the daily average temperature (DAT) dynamics models.
