1. Kilometer-scale climate modeling of precipitation in the Nordic region
Sammanfattning : Future changes in precipitation, in particular extremes, are among the most impact-relevant consequences of a warming climate driven by increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Still, climate model projections of future changes in regional and local precipitation remain uncertain. LÄS MER
2. Climate vulnerability assessment methodology : Agriculture under climate change in the Nordic region
Sammanfattning : Food security and climate change mitigation are crucial missions for the agricultural sector and for global work on sustainable development. Concurrently, agricultural production is directly dependent on climatic conditions, making climate change adaptation strategies essential for the agricultural sector. LÄS MER
3. Reducing uncertainties in climate change impact studies through uni- and multivariate methods : A Nordic perspective
Sammanfattning : Climate change poses undeniable impacts on hydroclimatic processes due to simultaneous effects of rising temperature and changing precipitation patterns. To quantify these impacts, simulations of climate variables are typically retrieved from climate models, which are then downscaled and bias-adjusted for a particular study site. LÄS MER
4. Atlantic Water in the Nordic Seas : A satellite altimetry perspective on ocean circulation
Sammanfattning : The Atlantic Water in the Nordic Seas contributes to the mild climate of Northern Europe and is the main oceanic source of heat for the Arctic. The northward bound transport of the warm and saline Atlantic Water is mediated by a topographically constrained cyclonic boundary current along the Norwegian continental slope. LÄS MER
5. Climate-associated human health effects
Sammanfattning : The intensifying impacts of climate change on human health represent a significant and pressing global health threat of the current century. This encompasses both short and long-term effects on human health, as well as ecosystem changes linked to rapid shifts in climate, and the subsequent spread of vector-borne diseases. LÄS MER
