100-year waves in the Mozambique Channel
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)Six-hourly significant wave height (SWH) data covering the period September 1957 to August 2002 is obtained from the ERA-40 reanalysis. This data, generated by ECMWF's own configured global WAM model, stems from the first ... -
The 11 year solar cycle UV irradiance effect and its dependency on the Pacific Decadal Oscillation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The stratospheric, tropospheric and surface impacts from the 11 year ultraviolet solar spectral irradiance (SSI) variability have been extensively studied using climate models and observations. Here, we demonstrate using ... -
2018 International Atmospheric Rivers Conference : Multi‐disciplinary studies and high‐impact applications of atmospheric rivers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-26)Atmospheric rivers (ARs) play a vital role in shaping the hydroclimate of many regions globally, and can substantially impact water resource management, emergency response planning, and other socioeconomic entities. The ... -
2020/21 record-breaking cold waves in east of China enhanced by the ‘Warm Arctic-Cold Siberia’ pattern
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Extreme cold waves frequently occur in east of China that dramatically endanger ecological agriculture, power infrastructure and human life. In this study, we found that the 'Warm Arctic-Cold Siberia' pattern (WACS) ... -
The 2021 Atlantic Niño and Benguela Niño Events: external forcings and air–sea interactions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the extreme Atlantic and Benguela Niño events that occurred during the boreal spring–summer of 2021. We conducted sensitivity experiments with a regional ocean–atmosphere ... -
230Th Normalization: New Insights on an Essential Tool for Quantifying Sedimentary Fluxes in the Modern and Quaternary Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01)230Th normalization is a valuable paleoceanographic tool for reconstructing high‐resolution sediment fluxes during the late Pleistocene (last ~500,000 years). As its application has expanded to ever more diverse marine ... -
3D mechanical and thermal analysis of an Aluminium piston for a high-speed Diesel laboratory engine
(Master thesis, 2018-06-22)A cast aluminium piston of a single cylinder Petter Diesel engine is modelled using the finite element method. The engine is intended to be supercharged, which will increase the thermal loading on the piston, and so the ... -
The 3 km Norwegian reanalysis (NORA3) – a validation of offshore wind resources in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We validate a new high-resolution (3 km) numerical mesoscale weather simulation for offshore wind power purposes for the time period 2004–2016 for the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. The 3 km Norwegian reanalysis (NORA3) ... -
A 4.5 Year‐Long Record of Svalbard Water Vapor Isotopic Composition Documents Winter Air Mass Origin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)From May 2014 to September 2018, a laser spectrometer analyzer provided a 4.5 years continuous record of water vapor isotopic composition at Ny-Ålesund (8 m above sea level, a.s.l.), Svalbard. It corresponds to the longest ... -
A Comparative Analysis of Ground Source and Air Source Heat Pumps for Heating of an Office Building in Bergen

A Comparative Study of Different Hydrogen Delivery and Storage Systems for Industrial Applications
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is crucial to addressing global warming. In response, emission-intensive industries with significant emissions prioritize efforts to cut their greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a ... -
A comparative study of Doubly Fed Asynchronous and Synchronous Generators in a wind energy perspective
(Master thesis, 2019-06-15)Dette masterstudiet fokuserer på analyse av vindkraft-generatorer. Det er et sammenligningsstudie av den dobbel-matede asynkrongeneratoren og synkrongeneratorer, hvor effektivitet, driftsforhold og økonomiske perspektiv ... -
A Matheuristic Algorithm for an Offshore Multi-period Location Routing Problem
(Master thesis, 2024-06-28)With the recent increase in energy production generated by offshore wind farms, regular maintenance is important for wind farm owners to ensure that they remain operational. Currently, maintenance tasks are performed by ... -
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 ... -
