The Atmospheric Surface Layer over Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
(Master thesis, 2019-06-28) -
The Effect of Near-Well Heterogeneity on Spatial Distribution of Salt Precipitation During CO2 Injection
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)The world is in need of a shift to cleaner energy, and carbon storage is expected to be an important part of the transition. Geological carbon storage is a process in which captured carbon dioxide (CO2) is injected into ... -
The Effects of Diabatic Heating on the Paradigmatic LC1 and LC2 Baroclinic Lifecycles
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Extratropical cyclones play a crucial role in determining mid-latitude weather, where the atmosphere is on average inducive to baroclinic instability. Literature has identified two lifecycle behaviors, one that is predominantly ... -
The importance of wind turbulence and coherence to the loads on a wind turbine blade
(Master thesis, 2019-06-25)The wind simulation method proposed by Paul S. Veers from Sandia National Laboratories has been checked for the measured wind velocities at 40m and 80m height at FINO1 platform. The Sandia method applied as it is, gives ... -
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. ... -
Transientstabilitet-implementering ved BESS for offshore mikronett i øymodus
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Konvensjonelle mikronett har tradisjonelt sikret spenning- og frekvensstabilitet med spinning-reserve fra roterende maskiner ved forstyrrelser i nettet. En økende andel av ikke-roterende energiproduksjon påvirker kraftsystemers ... -
Trends and internal variability in Brazilian hydropower catchments
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Hydropower is a major energy source in Brazil, and long-term hydropower production planning is crucial both for maintaining energy and water security in the country. The amount of water that is available to electricity ... -
Two-year moored records of dense-water production and flow through a gap in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge north of Iceland
(Master thesis, 2020-03-11) -
Understanding the dynamics of recent Norwegian extreme weather events and their influence on energy production
(Master thesis, 2021-08-05)The growing frequency and severity of extreme weather events in the Northern Hemisphere has prompted a lot of research being done on their origin and physical mechanisms. Both simplified and complex approaches have been ... -
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 ... -
Upper-ocean hydrography in the Eurasian Basin and its implication on sound speed
(Master thesis, 2022-08-15)The Polar Surface Water (PSW) and the Atlantic Water (AW) characteristics and their vertical extent are investigated using data from three moorings deployed in the Nansen Basin, north of Svalbard, under the Coordinated ... -
Using machine learning algorithms to enhance numerical weather prediction
(Master thesis, 2022-11-21)In this master thesis machine learning algorithms have been used in an effort to enhance numerical weather prediction. The learning algorithms used are random forest to provide a no precipitation/precipitation classification, ... -
Validation of precipitation forecasts from the AROME numerical weather prediction model in Norway
(Master thesis, 2022-11-21)High-quality precipitation forecasts are key to ensure the public and economic safety during severe precipitation events, and the process of validating these forecasts is a continuous effort. But with Norway's varied climate ... -
Vertical diffusivity and oxygen concentrations in a fjord basin - A case study of the deep basin in Masfjorden
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)The basin layer in a sill fjord is isolated from the coast, and may become hypoxic or anoxic if the renewal frequency is low. Deep water renewals and vertical mixing are the physical processes which affects the oxygen ... -
Waste heat recovery for lunar applications of a solid oxide electrolyser
(Master thesis, 2023-12-20)In an effort to make space exploration more sustainable the space industry looks to In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) as a possible way to lower the cost. With confirmed findings of water ice on the south pole of Earth’s ... -
