    • Magnetic field-aligned plasma currents in gravitational fields 

      Garcia, Odd Erik; Leer, Egil; Pecseli, Hans; Trulsen, Jan Karsten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-03)
      Analytical models are presented for currents along vertical magnetic field lines due to slow bulk electron motion in plasmas subject to a gravitational force. It is demonstrated that a general feature of this problem is a singularity in the plasma pressure force that develops at some finite altitude when a plasma that is initially in static equilibrium is set into slow motion. Classical fluid models ...

    • Using Silver Nano-Particle Ink in Electrode Fabrication of High Frequency Copolymer Ultrasonic Transducers: Modeling and Experimental Investigation 

      Decharat, Adit; Wagle, Sanat; Jacobsen, Svein Ketil; Melandsø, Frank (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-20)
      High frequency polymer-based ultrasonic transducers are produced with electrodes thicknesses typical for printed electrodes obtained from silver (Ag) nano-particle inks. An analytical three-port network is used to study the acoustic effects imposed by a thick electrode in a typical layered transducer configuration. Results from the network model are compared to experimental findings for the implemented ...

    • The First Magnetotelluric Image of the Lithospheric-Scale Geological Architecture in Central Svalbard, Arctic Norway 

      Beka, Thomas Ibsa; Smirnov, Maxim; Bergh, Steffen G; Birkelund, Yngve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-17)
      Magnetotelluric data, collected from 30 stations on Spitsbergen as part of a reconnaissance geothermal resource assessment along a profile with 0.53-km spacing in 0.0031000-s period range, were used to develop a lithospheric-scale two-dimensional (2D) resistivity model, heretofore unavailable for the region. Inverting the determinant of the impedance tensor in 2D, we found the smoothest model ...

    • On the Relationship between PMSE Strength and Particle Precipitation 

      Antonsen, Tarjei; Havnes, Ove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06)
      We have studied the relationship between particle precipitation and PMSE strength on days where we observe PMSE layers both with the EISCAT VHF and UHF radars. The UHF observations of the ionization and its variation, above the PMSE layer, is used as a measure of precipitation. Variations of the precipitation is compared with variations of the PMSE strengths observed with both radars. Although ...

    • Preliminary Assessment of Remote Wind Sites 

      Bilal, Muhammad; Araya, Guillermo; Birkelund, Yngve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08)
      Wind energy is becoming a reliable and affordable source of clean energy and is rapidly expanding to remote places around the world. A crucial input for wind farming prospect is the assessment of potential wind sites. Sites, especially remotely located, often do not have a wind resource map and thus lack credible historical records of wind resources. Measurement campaigns to map these sites are ...

    • CFD-DEM and Experimental Study of Bubbling in a Fluidized Bed 

      Khawaja, Hassan Abbas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12)
      In this study, phenomenon of bubbling is investigated using CFD-DEM and experiments. A CFD-DEM simulation is setup to model the fluidized beds of different sizes. Geldart D particles of 1.2 mm diameter and 1000 Kg/m3 density are modelled. Study revealed different types of fluidization regimes as stated in the literature. An experimental setup is built to obtain the results for the comparison. ...

    • Short-Time Ice Drift and Deformation Measurements Using Multi-Mission Synethetic Aperture Radar 

      Kræmer, Thomas; Brekke, Camilla (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2015-06)
      Norway is in a good position regarding frequent access to synthetic aperture radar data. A Norwegian– Canadian agreement provides large quotas of RADARSAT-2 images used operationally by e.g. the Norwegian Ice Service. More recently, Norway’s participation in the Copernicus program also allows rapid access to SENTINEL-1A data. By combining these data sources we can get satellite time series ...

    • Statistical Unmixing of SAR Images 

      Anfinsen, Stian Normann (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-02-03)
      A method is presented which uses logarithmic statistics to detect and characterise class mixtures and targets in background clutter in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Mixtures of ground cover types show up as extreme radar texture in statistical analysis of SAR images. Instead of modelling this as a spatially nonstationary radar cross section, this paper demonstrates how a mixture model ...

    • Linear scaling Coulomb interaction in the multiwavelet basis, a parallel implementation 

      Jensen, Stig Rune; Juselius, Jonas; Durdek, Antoine Pacifique Romain; Flå, Tor; Wind, Peter; Frediani, Luca (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-27)
      We present a parallel and linear scaling implementation of the calculation of the electrostatic potential arising from an arbitrary charge distribution. Our approach is making use of the multi-resolution basis of multiwavelets. The potential is obtained as the direct solution of the Poisson equation in its Green’s function integral form. In the multiwavelet basis, the formally non local ...

    • Mesospheric temperatures and sodium properties measured with the ALOMAR Na lidar compared with WACCM 

      Dunker, Tim; Hoppe, Ulf-Peter; Feng, Wuhu; Plane, John M.C.; Marsh, Daniel R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-16)
      We present a comparison of the temperature and sodium layer properties observed by the ALOMAR Na lidar (69.3°N, 16.0°E) and simulated by the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with specified dynamics and implemented sodium chemistry (WACCM-Na). To constrain the meteorological fields below 60 km, we use MERRA and GEOS-5. For the years 2008 to 2012, we analyse daily averages of temperature ...

    • Multi-radar observations of polar mesosphere summer echoes during the PHOCUS campaign on 20-22 July 2011 

      Belova, Evgenia; Kirkwood, Sheila; Latteck, Ralph; Zecha, Marius; Pinedo Nava, Henry; Hedin, Jonas; Gumbel, Jörg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-06-27)
      During the PHOCUS rocket campaign, on 20-22 July 2011, the observations of polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE) were made by three mesosphere-stratosphere-troposphere radars, operating at about 50 MHz. One radar, ESRAD is located at Esrange in Sweden, where the rocket was launched, two other radars, MAARSY and MORRO, are located 250 km north-west and 200 km north of ESRAD, respectively, on the other ...

    • Magnitude of extreme heat waves in present climate and their projection in a warming world 

      Russo, S.; Dosio, A.; Graversen, Rune; Sillmann, Jana; Carrao, H.; Dunbar, M.B.; Singleton, Andrew B.; Montagna, P.; Barbosa, P.; Vogt, Jürgen V. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      An extreme heat wave occurred in Russia in the summer of 2010. It had serious impacts on humans and natural ecosystems, it was the strongest recorded globally in recent decades and exceeded in amplitude and spatial extent the previous hottest European summer in 2003. Earlier studies have not succeeded in comparing the magnitude of heat waves across continents and in time. This study introduces a new ...

    • Blob sizes and velocities in the Alcator C-Mod scrape-off layer 

      Kube, Ralph; Garcia, Odd Erik; LaBombard, Brian; Terry, J.L; Zweben, Stewart (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Gas-puff imaging data is used to investigate the dynamics of blob-like structures in the scrape-off layer of Alcator C-Mod. A blob-tracking algorithm is developed and used to compute blob propagation velocities and cross-field sizes for a series of discharges where the line-averaged particle density View the MathML source is varied. We find that the mean radial blob velocity increases from View the ...
