A POD-Based Reduced Order Model for Offshore Wind Applications, using LiDAR Measurements and WRF-PALM Simulations
(Master thesis, 2022-06-03)Wind flow fields within a wind farm, including wake dynamics, are a complex system of large degrees of freedom. The wake shape and velocity deficit downstream of a turbine may be calculated using numerical modeling, such ... -
Acidification of the Nordic Seas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Due to low calcium carbonate saturation states, and winter mixing that brings anthropogenic carbon to the deep ocean, the Nordic Seas and their cold-water corals are vulnerable to ocean acidification. Here, we present a ... -
Advances in understanding and parameterization of small-scalephysical processes in the marine Arctic climate system: a review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-10)The Arctic climate system includes numerous highly interactive small-scale physical processes in the atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean. During and since the International Polar Year 2007–2009, significant advances have been ... -
Advancing the Capabilities of Numerical Weather Prediction - On the Utility of Individual Tendency Output
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-11-18)Parametrisering i numeriske værmodeller representerer finskalaprosesser i atmosfæren på subgridnivå. Disse atmosfæriske prosessene inkluderer turbulens, stråling og dråpeformasjon i skyer. Enhver parametrisering er en ... -
Aerodynamic study of a suspension bridge deck by CFD simulations, wind tunnel tests and full-scale observations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Assessing the aerodynamic characteristics of long-span bridges is fundamental for their design. Depending on the terrain complexity and local wind conditions, episodes of large angles of attack (AoA) of 15° may be observed. ... -
Air-Sea Interaction in Biophysical Modeling: With focus on Northeast Arctic Cod
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-02-15)The focus of this thesis is on upper ocean dynamics and the interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans in relation to early life stages of Northeast Arctic cod. The main spawning sites of Northeast Arctic cod are ... -
Airborne observations of the Eyjafjalla volcano ash cloud over Europe during air space closure in April and May 2010
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-03-11)Airborne lidar and in-situ measurements of aerosols and trace gases were performed in volcanic ash plumes over Europe between Southern Germany and Iceland with the Falcon aircraft during the eruption period of the Eyjafjalla ... -
Aircraft-based observations and high-resolution simulations of an Icelandic dust storm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-16)The first aircraft-based observations of an Icelandic dust storm are presented. The measurements were carried out over the ocean near Iceland's south coast in February 2007. This dust event occurred in conjunction with an ... -
Akvakultur og små vindturbinar: Eit moglegheitsstudie av i kva grad små vindturbinar kan dekkje energiforbruket ved norske oppdrettsanlegg
(Master thesis, 2018-06-21)The world’s population is growing rapidly, and it will become necessary, to a greater extent, to use the ocean for harvesting food. Norway is the largest exporter of salmon in the world. Prognosis says that aquaculture in ... -
Along‐stream, seasonal, and interannual variability of the North Icelandic Irminger Current and East Icelandic Current around Iceland
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Data from repeat hydrographic surveys over the 25-year period 1993 to 2017, together with satellite altimetry data, are used to quantify the temporal and spatial variability of the North Icelandic Irminger Current (NIIC), ... -
Amplification of synoptic to annual variability of West African summer monsoon rainfall under global warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Increased knowledge of future changes in rainfall variability is needed to reduce vulnerability to potential impacts of global warming, especially in highly vulnerable regions like West Africa. While changes in mean and ... -
An Investigation of the Optical Properties of Metal Nanoparticles for the Application in a Diffuse Light Solar Cell
(Master thesis, 2020-06-25)The need of renewable energy is increasing as the global energy demand increases concurrently with greenhouse gas emissions from energy use. According to the International Energy Agency, the energy demand will rise by 1.3 ... -
