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 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 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 ... -
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 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. ... -
Monsoon low-pressure systems - the precipitation response to atmospheric warming
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-04-24)The monsoon low-pressure systems (LPS) are amongst the most rain bearing synoptic scale systems that develop during the Indian monsoon, and they play a key role in generating extreme rainfall events in central India. This ... -
Monsoon Onset in Bangladesh: Reconciling scientific and societal perspectives
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-02-13)People of Bangladesh depend on the monsoon, and many of them depend on the timing of the monsoon onset for their livelihoods. In this study, we are motivated by the idea of providing information to these people about the ... -
Monthly to annual variability of the Norwegian Atlantic slope current: connection between the northern North Atlantic and the Norwegian Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004-03)This study investigated relations between direct current measurements in the Norwegian Atlantic slope current (NwASC), the sea surface height variability from the TOPEX altimeter, and reanalysed mean sea level pressure ... -
More Frequent Abrupt Marine Environmental Changes Expected
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)We quantify an elevated occurrence of abrupt changes in ocean environmental conditions under human-induced climate forcing using Earth system model output through a novel analysis method that compares the temporal evolution ... -
A multi-decadal record of oceanographic changes of the past ~165 years (1850-2015 AD) from Northwest of Iceland
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Extending oceanographic data beyond the instrumental period is highly needed to better characterize and understand multi-decadal to centennial natural ocean variability. Here, a stable isotope record at unprecedented ...
