KLIMAFORSK-Stort program klima

Extreme windstorms and related damage

Ekstrem vind og relaterte skader er en viktig faktor i det norske samfunnets generelle vær- og klimasårbarhet og stormskader (inkludert vind og stormflo) utgjør over halvparten av de private forsikringsutbetalingene knyttet til naturskade. Planlegging og avbøtende tiltak for å redusere vindrelat...

KLIMAFORSK-Stort program klima

Climatic changes in short duration extreme precipitation and rapid onset flooding - implications for design values

Prosjektets mål er en økt forståelse av ekstremer i korttidsnedbør, hvordan de påvirker raske men kortvarige intense flommer (som f.eks. styrtflom og urbanflom) og hvordan forandringer i klima kan forandre intensiteten og hyppigheten av denne type fenomener. Spesielt fokus er på utvikling av met...
