Modeling topographic effects on transport of tracers in the bottom boundary layer using RANS-models
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-06-15) -
Modelled mass balance of Xibu glacier, Tibetan Plateau: sensitivity to climate change
(Journal of Glaciology, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-06-01)Due to a lack of in situ measurements, model-based studies of glacier mass balance in the Tibetan Plateau are very limited. An energy-balance model is applied to analyse the mass-balance sensitivity of Xibu glacier, in the ... -
Modelling a tropical-like cyclone in the Mediterranean Sea under present and warmer climate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This study focuses on a single Mediterranean hurricane (hereafter medicane), to investigate its response to global warming during the middle of the 21st century and assesses the effects of a warmer ocean and a warmer ... -
Modelling alongshore flow in a semi-enclosed lagoon strongly forced by tides and waves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-26)Alongshore flows strongly driven by tides and waves is studied in the context of a one-dimensional numerical model. Observations from field surveys performed in a semi-enclosed lagoon (1.7 km×0.2 km) outside Xai-Xai, ... -
Modelling and measurements relevant for transport of polarized light in skin tissue
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-05-11) -
Modelling and observations of upwelling along the southwest coast of India and its intrusion into the Bay of Bengal, during summer monsoon
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-01-19)Coastal upwelling regions are among world´s most productive areas, with high levels of primary productivity and fishery potentials. The southwest coast of India is a classic example of such an upwelling system during the ... -
Modelling and validation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons emissions from offshore oil production facilities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The development of numerical models for investigating the risks and impact caused by human activities to the marine environment is important. Herein, the recently developed ChemicalDrift Lagrangian dispersion model was ... -
Modelling Energy Systems with Variable Renewable Energy
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-05-15)Today, the majority of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions stem from the burning of fossil fuels for energy purposes. In order to avoid devastating consequences of climate change, the world needs to reduce its emissions ... -
Modelling the effect of ocean waves on the atmospheric and ocean boundary layers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Ocean waves, in addition to generating direct forces on fixed and floating offshore wind generator structures, also have significant indirect effects via their influence on the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers above ... -
Modelling the fate and transport of pollutants in the marine environment : Investigations of the emissions from shipping and offshore oil and gas production facilities
(Doctoral thesis, 2025-02-21)Denne avhandlingen beskriver en ny numerisk modell, ChemicalDrift, som er utviklet for å simulere spredning og skjebne av kjemikalier i marine miljøer. Modellens evner blir demonstrert gjennom to casestudier som ser på ... -
Modelling wave growth in narrow fetch geometries: The white-capping and wind input formulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper investigates the performance of three different wave model source term packages in narrow fetch geometries. The packages are used to model the sea state in a complex coastal system with narrow fjords on the west ... -
Modification and Analysis of a Multimegawatt Floating Spar Wind Turbine

A modular field system for near-surface, vertical profiling of the atmospheric composition in harsh environments using cavity ring-down spectroscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) has allowed for increasingly widespread, in situ observations of trace gases, including the stable isotopic composition of water vapor. However, gathering observations in harsh environments ... -
Modulation of the Aleutian–Icelandic low seesaw and its surface impacts by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01)Early studies suggested that the Aleutian–Icelandic low seesaw (AIS) features multidecadal variation. In this study, the multidecadal modulation of the AIS and associated surface climate by the Atlantic Multidecadal ... -
Moisture origin as a driver of temporal variabilities of the water vapour isotopic composition in the Lena River delta, Siberia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In the context of the Arctic amplification of climate change affecting the regional atmospheric hydrological cycle, it is crucial to characterize the present-day moisture sources of the Arctic. The isotopic composition is ... -
Moisture Transport and Precipitation in Ethiopia
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-05-09)With little irrigation and a diverse climate, Ethiopia is a country where the effects of too little precipitation are frequently seen. While the generation of precipitation also depends on local ascent and cooling of the ... -
Moisture transport into the Ethiopian highlands
(Journal article, 2013-01)The Ethiopian summer rains occur as air masses of various origins converge above the Ethiopian plateau. In this study, the relative importance of different moisture transport branches has been estimated using the Lagrangian ... -
Monitoring Soil Moisture Drought over Northern High Latitudes from Space
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-20)Mapping drought from space using, e.g., surface soil moisture (SSM), has become viable in the last decade. However, state of the art SSM retrieval products suffer from very poor coverage over northern latitudes. In this ... -
Monitoring the Norwegian Atlantic slope current using a single moored current meter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-01)Monitoring the Atlantic inflow (AI) of warm and saline water into the Nordic Seas (Norwegian, Greenland and Iceland Seas) is of great importance becauce of its impact on climate and ecology in Northern Europe and Arctic. ...
