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 ... -
Air-Sea Interactions during Cold Air Outbreaks in a coupled Mixed Layer Model
(Master thesis, 2019-06-19)Cold air outbreaks play a crucial role in the air-sea heat exchange in high latitudes. To explore the sensitivity to ocean coupling, the role of latent heating and the sensitivity to sea ice distributions in cold air ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Anthropogenic Carbon in the Nordic seas and Arctic Ocean, 1994 to 2007
(Master thesis, 2019-06-28)The increase of anthropogenic CO2 between 1994 and 2007 is quantified in the Nordic seas and Arctic Ocean with the extended multiple linear regression method (eMLR(C*)). To be able to map the increase in anthropogenic CO2 ... -
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 ... -

Hydropower Production Scheduling using Stochastisc Dual Dynamic Programming subject to environmental constraints
(Master thesis, 2019-06-22)Oppgaven utforsker vannkraftproduksjonsplanlegging i Bergsdalen vassdraget, styrt av BKK, ved hjelp av Stokastisk Dual Dynamisk Programmering. Systemet er under et sett med miljørestriksjoner, innført av NVE, som utfordrer ... -
Impacts on carbon budgets of increased use og Norwegian forest resources for energy
(Master thesis, 2019-06-19)When forests are logged for heat and electricity production, emissions from burning of the biomass are not accounted for in national greenhouse gas reporting to the climate convention. This would have been correct if a ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
