  1. 11. From alpha to beta ocean: Exploring the role of surface buoyancy fluxes and seawater thermal expansion in setting the upper ocean stratification

    Författare :Romain Caneill; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ocean stratification; Thermal expansion coefficient; Buoyancy fluxes; Transition zone; Alpha – beta ocean;

    Sammanfattning : The ocean plays a central role in the climate system by absorbing excess anthropogenic heat and carbon dioxide. Moreover, the ocean circulation distributes heat from the tropics towards the poles. Due to the large ocean stratification, vertical exchanges between the ocean interior and the surface are limited.

    Sammanfattning : Fossil fuels have greatly improved human living standards and saved countless lives. However, today, their continued use threatens human survival, as CO2 levels rise at an unprecedented pace to levels never seen during human existenceon earth. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Thermal Expansion and Local Environment Effects in Ferromagnetic Iron-Based Alloys : A Theoretical Study

    Författare :François Liot; Igor Abrikosov; Peter Mohn; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : The Nobel Prize for Physics 1920 was awarded to C.-E. Guillaume for his discovery of properties of nickel steels. He had previously observed that certain iron-nickel alloys exhibit the Invar effect i. LÄS MER
