There are several forms of uncertainties in the predictive modeling of glacial mass balance. One of these uncertainties is to what degree melt water will refreeze, advect latent heat into, and stay as ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31

Glaciers outside the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are at present, despite their small volume (200,000 glaciers on Earth. A range of remote sensing and in situ observations of surface conditions and ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2016-12-31

Ocean surface waves are important for a number of reasons; they need to be well modelled for shipping and wave energy, coastal management, but they also influence mass flux (aerosols and gases) and are ...

Understanding the drivers of extreme weather events and improving their predictability is of crucial societal and economic value. The present project will develop an innovative approach to the problem ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2012-01-01 till 2016-12-31

About 70% of the Earth?s surface is covered by oceans, but still knowledge about many aspects of air-sea interaction is lacking. Processes over sea is crucial in a number of application ranging from weather ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2015-12-31

Estimation of world water resources under a changing climate is a key scientific issue for many environmental research areas with profound socio-economic significance. A new purely data-based scale-extrapolation ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31

Polar lows, intense mesoscale cyclones over high-latitude oceans, pose considerable risk to the Arctic activities. With climate change, the increased commercial activity is expected to largely increase ...
