Downscaling an intense precipitation event in complex terrain: the importance of high grid resolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Floods due to intense rainfall are a major hazard to both people and infrastructure in western Norway. Here steep orography enhances precipitation and the complex terrain channels the runoff into narrow valleys and small ... -
The dynamic and thermodynamic structure of monsoon low-pressure systems during extreme rainfall events
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-12)A cyclone-tracking algorithm is used to identify monsoon low-pressure systems (LPS) in the ERA-interim re-analysis (1979–2010). The LPS that are connected to observed extreme rainfall events are picked out and studied with ... -
Extreme precipitation in Central Norway. A case and climate study
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)An extreme precipitation event occurred over Central Norway at the end of January to the beginning of February 2006. The heavy precipitation in addition to high temperatures lead to snow melt and increased run-off, which ...
