  1. 1. Understanding the Impacts of Weather and Climate Change on Travel Behaviour

    Författare :Liu Chengxi; Yusak O. Susilo; Karlström Anders; Kelly J. Clifton; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; impacts of weather; climate change; travel survey; spatial heterogeneity; activity-travel pattern; weather perception; passenger transport CO2 emission; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Sammanfattning : Human behaviour produces massive greenhouse gas emissions, which trigger climate change and more unpredictable weather conditions. The fluctuation of daily weather corresponds to variations of everyday travel behaviour. This influence, although is less noticeable, can have a strong impact on the transport system. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Statistical Downscaling of Precipitation from Large-scale Atmospheric Circulation : Comparison of Methods and Climate Regions

    Författare :Fredrik Wetterhall; Sven Halldin; Chong-Yu Xu; Lars-Christer Lundin; Deliang Chen; Hans von Storch; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrology; Statistical; Downscaling; Precipitation; Large-scale circulation; PCA; TWS; Weather pattern; Regression; Weather generator; Hydrologi; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

    Sammanfattning : A global climate change may have large impacts on water resources on regional and global scales. General circulation models (GCMs) are the most used tools to evaluate climate-change scenarios on a global scale. They are, however, insufficiently describing the effects at the local scale. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Stopover Ecology of Mallards : Where, when and how to do what?

    Författare :Daniel Bengtsson; Jonas Waldenström; W. Michael Eichholtz; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Age characters; body condition; departure decision; effects of influenza A virus; habitat selection; mallard; movement; Ottenby Bird Observatory; stopover ecology; weather; wild birds; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is the most numerous and widespread duck in the northern hemisphere and a model species in ecology and harvest management. Migration is a crucial life stage for many birds and understanding the drivers of migration has important implications for conservation biology and assessment of animal population responses to global changes.

  5. 4. Climate and geographical influence on the performance of infiltration-based facilities for managing runoff – Temporal and spatial variability

    Författare :Ivan Mantilla; Maria Viklander; Tone Merete Muthanna; Kelsey Flanagan; Vegard Nielsen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Green infrastructure; hydrological performance; infiltration capacity; climatic pattern; saturated hydraulic conductivity; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is expected to lead to more intense and severe rainfall events in the future, significantly increasing the risk of urban flooding. This change, characterized by spatial and temporal shifts in precipitation patterns, presents a challenge to the capacity of existing urban drainage systems, which may lead to higher runoff volumes than they were initially designed to handle.

  7. 5. Modelling of the daytime and night-time urban thermal environment

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

    Sammanfattning : 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.
