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 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 ... -
Addressing the observational gap over heterogeneous land surfaces in the lower atmospheric boundary layer by multi-copter temperature and humidity profile measurements
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)The effects of surface heterogeneity on the atmospheric boundary layer are still poorly understood and thus not appropriately parameterized in numerical weather prediction models. The complexity of types, shapes, and scales ... -
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 annual global mean surface temperature prediction to 2 months lead using physics based strategy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Interannual global mean surface temperature (GMST) forecast provides critical insights into the economic and societal implications of climate variability. The pronounced GMST elevation in 2023–2024 indicates that the Earth ... -
