A NAWDEX case study: Water vapor transport in atmospheric rivers and quantifying hand over of moisture between extratropical cyclones
(Master thesis, 2020-10-31)Meridional water vapor transport occurs predominantly within the warm sector of extratropical cyclones. The warm sector is seperated by the cyclone's warm front ahead, and the cold front behind. In this region the warm ... -

Investigation of the dynamic response of a spar FOWT, and its sensitivity to variations in draft
(Master thesis, 2020-06-30)The objective of this thesis is to investigate how the dynamic properties of a spar supported FOWT change when the draft is reduced, and what draft is needed in order to support a 10 MW wind turbine. Design solutions of ... -
Miljøpåvirkninger fra produksjon og bruk av hydrogen i maritim transport
(Master thesis, 2020-07-01)I denne studien er hydrogen foreslått som et alternativt drivstoff for maritim transport. Miljøpåvirkninger fra å erstatte konvensjonelle fossile brensler i sjøtransport med hydrogen vurderes ved å utføre en livssyklusvurdering ... -
Analyse av klimaendringane si påverking på produksjonen frå uregulerte småkraftverk i Noreg
(Master thesis, 2020-06-30)I denne oppgåva har eg undersøkt klimaendringane si påverking på produksjonen ved åtte uregulerte småkraftvek i Noreg. Problemstillinga er «Korleis vil klimaendringane påverke straumproduksjonen ved uregulerte småkraftverk ... -
Long-term changes in the Nordic Seas' hydrographic structure and overflow waters
(Master thesis, 2020-06-30)A collection of historical hydrographic data was used to examine the hydrographic properties of the water masses in the Nordic Seas from 1950 to 2018, with particular focus on the dense overflows from the Nordic Seas. ... -
Life cycle assessment of hydrogen fuel in aviation
(Master thesis, 2020-07-01)The aviation sector emits 2% of the global emissions caused by transportation. This is a problem for our global climate and has also shown to be an issue for the public after the Swedish boycott of airtravel, inspired by ... -
Tidal forcing and internal tide energetics around Svalbard: a numerical study
(Master thesis, 2020-06-27)The hydrostatic and linear Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is used to examine the tidal forcing and the resulting baroclinic response and energetics of internal tides generated around Svalbard in the Arctic Ocean. ... -
Ombygging av en én-sylindret dieselmotor til dual fuel-drift og testing av alternative gassformede drivstoff
(Master thesis, 2020-06-26)Denne rapporten beskriver ombygging av en én-sylindret dieselmotor til dual fuel-drift, og videre testing av alternative gassformede drivstoff. I tillegg omhandler rapporten simuleringer gjort på samme motor ved hjelp av ... -
Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) in the Norwegian Earth System model
(Master thesis, 2020-06-26)The causes of low-frequency sea surface temperature (SST) variations in the Atlantic, known as Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV), are debated. AMV has climatic impacts on for instance hurricane activity and Sahel ... -

Undersøkelse av reaksjonsmekanismer for OMEbrennstoff for bruk til implementering i 3D-CFD simulering av forbrenning
(Master thesis, 2019-06-28)Oxymetylene etere (OME) er brennstoff som brenner så og si uten utslipp av sot. Disse syntetisk skapte brennstoffene kan spille en viktig rolle i diesel miksen en dag, og kanskje til og med et surrogat for diesel. Brennstoffet ... -
Airborne Field Measurements and Model Simulations of Boundary Layer Properties over the Iceland Sea
(Master thesis, 2019-06-28)The spatial and temporal distributions of a cold air outbreak (CAO) event over the Iceland- and southern Greenland Seas have been investigated during the IcelandGreenland Seas project (IGP) in February and March 2018. This ... -
