Impact of the Agulhas Current on Southern Africa Precipitation: A Modeling Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Agulhas Current (AC) creates a sharp temperature gradient with the surrounding ocean, leading to a large turbulent flux of moisture from ocean to atmosphere. We use two simulations of the Weather Research and Forecasting ... -
The impact of the wind stress curl in the North Atlantic on the Atlantic inflow to the Norwegian Sea toward the Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-09-04)The Norwegian Atlantic Current (NwAC) through the Norwegian Sea serves as a conduit of warm and saline Atlantic water from the North Atlantic to the Arctic Ocean, an important factor for climate and ecology. In this study, ... -
The impact of turbulence modelling on large offshore wind turbine response
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-10-28)In order to reduce climate change, a large up-scaling of renewable energy capacity is necessary in the near future. Offshore wind is expected to play a key role in this green shift. The wind conditions offshore are in ... -
Impacts of Atlantic multi-decadal variability on the Indo-Pacific and Northern Hemisphere climate
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-06-03)Earlier studies have shown that Atlantic multi-decadal variability (AMY) can impact climate variability globally. However the instrumental records are short compared to the timescale of AMY, and mechanisms for these impacts ... -
Impacts of climate change on Blue Nile flows using bias-corrected GCM scenarios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)This study analyses the output of 17 general circulation models (GCMs) included in the 4th IPCC assessment report. Downscaled precipitation and potential (reference crop) evapotranspiration (PET) scenarios for the 2081– ... -
Impacts of Greenland Block Location on Clouds and Surface Energy Fluxes over the Greenland Ice Sheet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Clouds and blocking activity have been implicated as causes of increased Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) melt in the 21st century. Although Greenland blocks (i.e., long-lasting, mostly stationary anticyclones) generally reduce ... -
Impacts of the autumn Arctic sea ice on the intraseasonal reversal of the winter Siberian high
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)During 1979–2015, the intensity of the Siberian high (SH) in November and December–January (DJ) is frequently shown to have an out-of-phase relationship, which is accompanied by opposite surface air temperature and circulation ... -
Impacts of the extratropical North Pacific on boreal summer Arctic circulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A distinct characteristic of the Arctic summer atmospheric circulation is the anomalous anticyclonic circulation centered over the Arctic Ocean associated with significant Arctic warming. Previous studies have related the ... -
Impacts of UV Irradiance and Medium-Energy Electron Precipitation on the North Atlantic Oscillation during the 11-Year Solar Cycle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Observational studies suggest that part of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) variability may be attributed to the spectral ultra-violet (UV) irradiance variations associated to the 11-year solar cycle. The observed ... -
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 ... -
Implementation of a Simple Actuator Disk for Large-Eddy Simulation in the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF-SADLES v1.2) for wind turbine wake simulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In this study, we present the development of a Simple Actuator Disk model for Large-Eddy Simulation (SADLES), implemented within the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, which is widely used in atmospheric research. ... -
Implementation of slope irradiance in Mesoscale Model version 5 and its effect on temperature and wind fields during the breakup of a temperature inversion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-01-27)The atmospheric mesoscale model MM5 has been used at high horizontal resolution to simulate the breakup of a temperature inversion in complex topography. To improve the surface parameterizations during daytime, slope and ... -
Implementation of the sectional aerosol module SALSA2.0 into the PALM model system 6.0: model development and first evaluation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-11)Urban pedestrian-level air quality is a result of an interplay between turbulent dispersion conditions, background concentrations, and heterogeneous local emissions of air pollutants and their transformation processes. ... -
