KLIMAFORSK-Stort program klima

Guest research collaboration on Arctic clouds

Arktis er ett av de områder i verden hvor det er hyppigst skydekke. Skyer i Arktis har en betydelig påvirkning på dagliglivet i Arktis og det globale klima. I store deler av året fører skydekket til at det dannes et lag med tåke i Arktis, som fører til nær 100% relativ luftfuktighet ved bakken. O...

KLIMAFORSK-Stort program klima

Anthropogenic Heat Islands in the Arctic - Windows to the Future of the Regional Climates, Ecosystems and Societies

The final period of the project was devoted to preparation of the project data sets, reports and cross-disciplinary publications. We published or submitted three papers combining expertise and results of the partners from Norway, US and Russia. These studies emphasize impact of the urban climate ...

POLARPROG-Polarforskningsprogram

Bjerknes Compensation Mechanism: Historical perspective, geographical pattern, and Arctic multi-decadal predictability

Long runs (hundreds of years) of the global climate models and high-resolution climate proxy data sets provide an opportunity to study multi-decadal natural variability of the coupled atmospheric and oceanic circulation. The Nordic seas and the Arctic are regions were such a natural variability ...

KLIMAFORSK-Stort program klima

A User-Defined Approach to Utilize Climate Change Information in Local Implementation of National Construction Standards

The project RECON is focused on establishing interactions in a triangle economists - consultancy - climatologists in the frameworks of the user-defined approach where the later give the leading role to the former. Climatologists bear the bulk workload of the project as providers of the quantitat...

POLRES-Polarforskning POLRES

The atmospheric boundary layer structure and surface-troposphere exchange in the Svalbard area

The NERSC-IAP project capitalizes on the long-term (+15 years) experience with Russian research cooperation at NERSC. It opens a new line of cooperation with the Moscow scientific establishment. Its aim is to tighten cooperation with the leading Russian r esearch institute in area of atmospheric ...

POLRES-Polarforskning POLRES

Detailed studies of the Bjerknes compensation mechanism

The proposal is aimed on strengthening of the established cooperation within the frameworks of the BILAT-USA programme and the ongoing NFR projects PAACSIZ and POCAHONTAS. The existing cooperation is mostly confined to the lower atmospheric processes, gen eral circulation and the Arctic climate. ...

DIV-INT-Annet internasjonalt samarbeid

International conference Planetary Boundary Layer and Climate Change

Our knowledge of the Earths Climate System and its evolution is still imperfect. One of the most prominent uncertainties in the ongoing transient climate change is related to poor understanding and hence incorrect modelling of the physics and dynamics of turbulent processes in the lowermost laye...

FRINATEK-Fri prosj.st. mat.,naturv.,tek

Planetary Boundary Layer Feedback in the Earths Climate System

The lower atmosphere and the upper ocean are turbulent or chaotic. The turbulence transports heat, moisture/aerosols from the surface, where solar radiation is absorbed and moisture/pollution fluxes are originated, to the atmosphere. For 50 years, turbule nt mixing has been recognized as one of t...

S-AFRIKA-Program for forskningsamarbeid med Sør- Afrika

Analysis and Possibility for Control of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Processes to Facilitate Adaptation to Environmental Changes

Convective rainfalls are of enormous importance for agriculture and water resource management in semi-arid areas such as Central-North-Eastern South Africa, where more than 50% of the country population is concentrated. This project will contribute into t he redress and capacity development of th...

INT-BILAT-BILAT-ordningen

USA - bilateral cooperation in climate and greenhouse gas emission in Arctic

Basing on the scientific background, we plan to propose the development of the inverse modelling, i.e. recovery of variability and trends, of the CH4 emission sources in the Arctic. The project will have three major components: (A) consistent and complete database accounting for both the concent...

POLRES-Polarforskning POLRES

Planetary Boundary Layer Feedbacks Affecting the Polar Amplification of Arctic Climate Change in Seasonal Ice Zone

Studies based on observations, climate modelling and paleo-data have revealed a strong polar amplification (PA) of climate sensitivity in the Arctic. By contrast to the mean global temperature, which has increased by less than 1 degree during the past 100 years, the mean temperature in Longyearb...
