(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2009)
Aerosols have in recent years been given increased attention due to their effects on climate and health. Drastic reductions in sulphur emissions in Europe during the last two decades have led to a larger relative importance ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2009)
In this thesis, transport pathways, temporal trends and seasonality of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the Arctic are examined. These pollutants, which can be transported over long distances, constitute a great ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2009)
Clouds in the Arctic differ from clouds elsewhere in that they have a net warming effect at the surface. This happens because the longwave (LW) radiation dominates the radiation regime due to large solar zenith angles ...

Ved å bruke en invers metode kan høydeprofilen av svoveldioksid (SO2) utslippene fra et vulkanutbrudd estimeres. Metoden bruker satellitt observerte SO2 kolonneverdier (AIRS, OMI) og en partikkel dispersjons modell (FLEXPART) ...

This thesis presents results from an AGCM sensitivity study in which the response in the Northern Hemisphere storm tracks to an imposed SST anomaly is investigated. The study was motivated by observational studies cited ...

Palsas are peat mounds with a perennially frozen core which are mainly formed due to ice segregation. They are located in bogs in warmer (sporadic and discontinuous) permafrost zones and they are therefore sensitive to ...

In this thesis we present a three-dimensional (3-D) seismic SV-wave speed model for the upper mantle beneath Northern Europe derived from the analysis of fundamental mode Rayleigh waveforms. Selecting recordings with ...

Image matching, or registration, is the process where two or more images are compared to find corresponding areas or objects. Several different methods are used in the approach of quantizing displacements (e.g. cross-correlation ...
