    • Multi-Locality Based Local and Symbiotic Computing for Interactively fast On-Demand Weather Forecasting for Small Regions, Short Durations, and Very High-Resolutions 

      Fjukstad, Bård (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-09-19)
      Modern weather forecasting is based on forecasts from huge numerical models executed on large supercomputer clusters in large computer centers. Production deadlines for forecast and available computational resources are the main factors for having to limit the forecast region size, spatial resolution, forecast duration and detail level of the weather model used. Modern numerical models currently ...
    • Site specific avalanche warning for settlements in Northern Norway: Twenty years of the Northern Norway Avalanche Surveillance Program 

      Jaedicke, Christian; Sandersen, Frode; Elvevold, Arnulf; Fjukstad, Bård; Bakkehøi, Steinar; Hestnes, Erik; Sjøli, Anette; Elvestad, Per; Karlsen, Karin; Haugen, Gjermund Mamen; Grønaas Størseth, Hilde; Sørensen, Jan Hugo; Vigstad, Hege; Solvang, Helene; Weenås Vevik, Kim; Schjelderup, Ronny; Lie, Leikny Bakke; Gauer, Peter; Gisnås, Kjersti Gleditsch; Skuset, Sunniva; Gilbert, Graham; Hancock, Holt John; Kleiven, Anders; Morken, Elise (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09)
      Northern Norway experienced an intensely snow rich winter in 1997 when settled snow heights reached a record 240 cm at the weather station in Tromsø on April 29th. Numerous avalanches, settlement evacuations, and two fatalities in a destroyed house in the settlement of Breivikeidet left the public exhausted at the end of the winter. The chaotic response to avalanche events during the season demonstrated ...
    • Super sensor network 

      Fjukstad, Bård (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-05-15)
      This dissertation studies composing a super sensor network from the combination of three functional sensor networks; A Sensor data producing network, a sensor data computing network and a sensor controlling network. The target devices are today labeled as large sensor nodes. The communication are based on an IP network using HTTP as the main protocol. Bonjour is used for service discovery, with ...
    • Uncertainty Estimation and Visualization of Wind in Weather Forecasts 

      Fjukstad, Bård; Bjørndalen, John Markus; Anshus, Otto (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2014-01)
      The Collaborative Symbiotic Weather Forecasting system, CSWF, let individual users do on-demand small region, short-term, and very high-resolution forecasts. When the regions have some overlap, a symbiotic forecast can be produced based on the individual forecasts from each region. Small differences in where the center of the region is located when there is complex terrain in the region, leads to ...
