    Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to increased knowledge on Holocene climate and environmental variability from two complex and sparsely studied areas. Using a speleothem from Gasparee Cave, Trinidad, as a paleoclimate archive, the local expression of the 8. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Atmospheric dynamics and the hydrologic cycle in warm climates

    Författare :Henrik Carlson; Rodrigo Caballero; Johan Nilsson; Jonathan L. Mitchell; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; superrotation; early Eocene; warm climates; Madden-Julian Oscillation; the hydrologic cycle; vegetation sensitivity; large-scale circulation; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

    Sammanfattning : Past warm climates represent one extreme of Earth's known climate states. Here, we study warm climates in both idealized simulations and full-complexity general circulation model (GCM) simulations of the early Eocene epoch, approximately 50 million years ago. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Understanding West African Monsoon Variability : Insights from Paleoclimate Modelling of Past Warm Climates

    Författare :Ellen Berntell; Qiong Zhang; Alessandra Giannini; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; West African Monsoon; Monsoon Variability; Paleoclimate; Climate modelling; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Sammanfattning : The Sahel, a water-vulnerable region in West Africa, relies heavily on rainfed agriculture. The region experienced pronounced droughts during the 20th Century, emphasising the socio-economic importance of understanding the drivers of the rainfall variability. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Outdoor thermal comfort of residents in a warm humid climate : A study on informal settlements in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

    Författare :Modest Maurus Baruti; Boende och bostadsutveckling; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Outdoor thermal comfort; Microclimate; Thermal perception; Urbanites; Informal settlements; Informal urban fabric; Warm humid climates; Dar es Salaam; Physiological Equivalent temperature PET ; New Standard Effective Temperature SET* ; Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI ;

    Sammanfattning : In the informal settlements of warm humid climates, where the majority of urbanites spend most of their time outdoors, a conducive thermal environment is crucial for their social and economic well-being. The overall aim of this thesis is to increase knowledge and understanding of outdoor thermal comfort in informal settlements in the warm and humid climate of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. LÄS MER
