(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2018)Precipitation patterns and rates change with global warming. These changes can be separately evaluated in fast and slow responses, the combination of the two are called apparent responses. The fast precipitation responses ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)The role of sea ice in the climate response after the 536 and 540 CE volcanic eruptions hasbeen investigated through MPI-ESM simulations with imposed volcanic forcing. There is aclear response in the Arctic sea-ice cover ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2010)Seven experiments are conducted on a coupled ice-ocean model in order to gain insight in the sensitivity of the modeled Arctic sea-ice extent and thickness to crucial changes in the parametrization of the models albedo ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is projected to weaken under global warming. This study investigates this weakening overturning and addresses the question regarding which aspects lead to such a ...

Smoke detection in Europe from wildfires in North America and its impact on the surface temperature (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)In the summer of 2013, Europe got affected by smoke from wildfires in North America. A haze was covering the sky, attenuating the incident solar radiation, at many places in Europe. Especially during two periods, high ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2011)Relative dispersion is a widely used measure to characterize mixing properties of atmospheric passive tracers. Numerical models allow for a large number of particles. In this thesis, the Lagrangian transport model FLEXPART ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)Two cases of severe thunderstorms that impacted the Oslo area have been investigated. The thunderstorms occurred during the summer of 2014, an extraordinary summer with record high temperatures, number of lightning strikes ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)The timescales of transport from the surface to the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) was studied using the Lagrangian transport model Flexpart. The model was driven by the ERA-Interim reanalysis from the European Center for ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)
-
(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, 2010)In boundary layer modelling, the Monin-Obukhov theory is widely used to parmeterize the wind profiles and the momentum fluxes. During the IPY-THORPEX campaign at Andøya at 3. March 2008, a flight was made across an arctic ...

Upstream of a land-falling Atmospheric River: Its moisture sources and assimilated observation influences on NorwayRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2018)
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)Accurate forecasts of very low temperatures in stable boundary layer (SBL) conditions in arctic areas remain a challenge in numerical weather prediction. These forecasts are of great importance both for local communities ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2011)ERRATA Figure ?? p. 7 refers to Figure 3.1 Figure ?? p. 15 refers to Figure 4.1 Figure ?? p. 17 refers to Figure 4.2 Eq. (4.9) shall read: u_comp = RMS_u sin(fi) Eq. (4.11) shall read NS_vel = u_comp + v_comp For the ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2010)Long, non-dispersive coastal wind-generated internal waves in the Hardangerfjord is investigated based on hydrographic data at the coast and current and temperature measurements in the fjord. The aim of the present work ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2005)This thesis looks into features of the volume flux in the narrow Drøbak strait, and water level changes in the inner Oslofjord. Earlier measurements suggest that the volum flux in the east course of the strait, calculated ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2010)We consider the relative importance of wind and currents in the determination of optimal routes, commonly referred to as weather routing, for sailboats. Weather routing for sailboats is the process of finding the fastest ...
