  1. 1. The influence of climate on ozone risk for vegetation

    Författare :Jenny Klingberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :local climate; topography; nocturnal temperature inversions; ozone spring peak; passive diffusion sampler; AOT40; stomatal ozone flux; stomatal conductance; phytotoxic ozone dose; EMEP; MATCH; RCA3; climate change;

    Sammanfattning : Ground-level ozone (O3) is a harmful air pollutant causing reduced crop yield and quality, reduced forest growth and negative effects on human health in large parts of the world. O3 is generally seen as a regional scale air pollution problem, but O3 concentration ([O3]) variation on a smaller geographical scale can be considerable. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The use of a satellite-derived cloud climatology for studying cloud-aerosol processes and the performance of regional cloud climate simulations

    Författare :Karl-Göran Karlsson; Erland Källen; Jon-Egil Kristjansson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Clouds and climate; satellite cloud climatology; validation of clouds; clouds and aerosols; Meteorology; Meteorologi;

    Sammanfattning : The entry of satellite-derived decadal cloud datasets with homogeneous coverage in time and space enables studies not possible before. This thesis presents two such applications. The first study deals with cloud-aerosol processes and the second with an evaluation of cloud simulations from a regional climate model. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Climate change and urban drainage : future precipitation and hydraulic impact

    Författare :Mats Olofsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Increasing global mean temperature influences the hydrologic cycle. In the 21st century, hydrologic change featuring more heavy precipitation events is very likely according to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC. This change will have a great impact on urban environments and infrastructures. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Simulated and observed change of precipitation and temperature in Europe with focus on the Greater Baltic Area

    Författare :Alexander Walther; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climatology; precipitation; temperature; extremes; thermal growing season; diurnal cycle; regional climate model;

    Sammanfattning : The regional climate of the Greater Baltic Area is complex and varies at a multitude of scales in space and time. This thesis contributes to increased understanding of climate change and climate variability in this area focusing on four significant research topics. Droughts have a considerable ecological and socio-economic impact. LÄS MER
