  1. 1. A Historic Record of Sea Ice Extents from Scatterometer Data

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Geoinformatik

    Författare :Inès Otosaka; [2017]
    Nyckelord :sea ice; radar scattering; scatterometer;

    Sammanfattning : Sea ice is a vital component of the cryosphere and does not only influence the polar regions but has a more global influence. Indeed, sea ice plays a major role in the regulation of the global climate system as the sea ice cover reflects the sun radiation back to the atmosphere keeping the polar regions cool. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : For the construction of a wind farm, one needs to assess the wind resources of the considered site location. Using reference time series from numerical weather prediction models, global assimilation databases or observations close to the area considered, the on-site measured wind speeds and wind directions are corrected in order to represent the actual long-term wind conditions.
