1. Windstorms in Sweden - variations and impacts
Sammanfattning : Windstorms have caused severe damage on several occasions in Sweden during the last century. A general concern about future projections of climate extremes has raised questions on the variations and impacts of windstorms. LÄS MER
2. Simplified treatment of the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layer
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the evolution of the atmospheric planetary boundary layer, APBL, in which momentum and heat fluxes through the APBL are determined using the bulk values of wind and temperature within the layer. Two ways were explored and tested in determining the primary variables, i.e. LÄS MER
3. On errors in meteorological data assimilation
Sammanfattning : Data assimilation in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) optimally blends observations with atmospheric model data in order to obtain the best possible initial state for an atmospheric model prediction. Specification of error characteristics is an important part of data assimilation. LÄS MER
4. On methods for estimating oceanic flow
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to estimate and possibly quantify ocean flow by utilizing conventional and novel observational methods as well as model results. Motionally induced voltages, from a cable-based observational system in the Baltic Sea, were analysed to determine their utility for ocean monitoring. LÄS MER
5. Investigations of problems related to the choice of the initial state for numerical weather prediction models
Sammanfattning : In numerical prediction models, where the wind and mass fields are described as free variables (so called primitive equation models), the initial state has to be carefully chosen, to avoid spurious oscillations in the forecast. This thesis deals with this initialization problem. LÄS MER
