Research institutions and funding agencies are increasingly adopting open-data science, where data is freely available or available under some data sharing policy. In addition to making publication efforts easier, open data science also promotes collaborative work using data from various sources around the world. While the research datasets are often static and immutable, the metadata of a file ...

With the introduction of distributed generation and the establishment of smart grids, several new challenges in energy analytics arose. These challenges can be solved with a specific type of recurrent neural networks called echo state networks, which can handle the combination of both weather and power consumption or production depending on the dataset to make predictions. Echo state networks ...

ESA’s Solar Orbiter spacecraft provides a new opportunity to investigate the inner heliosphere close to sun, by taking measurements with state-of-the-art instruments it will help uncover the mysteries of the Sun. Solar Orbiter is planned for a 7 year mission, reaching as close as 0.28 AU to the sun. Using a process called impact ionization, dust fluxes can be measured during the mission. Some ...

Electric potential-differences between the magnetospheric and the ionospheric end of a magnetic flux tube lead to the downward acceleration of electrons in the ionosphere, producing visible auroral arcs. Most of the potential-drop is situated in a narrow altitude-region known as double layer. In the ionosphere, the precipitation of high-energy electrons will produce secondary electrons. Some ...

In order to deliver on the emission cuts in the Paris Agreement, additional renewable energy production is required to cover the rising energy demand. This thesis assesses the wind resources, energy production potential and the economic sustainability of a new potential wind farm, located at Senja island in northern Norway. The aim of this thesis is to decide if a new wind farm at Senja is an ...

Hydrogen production by electrolysis using renewable energy sources is essential for hydrogen to be able to contribute to the green energy transition. Producing the hydrogen on the site of use minimizes the transportation costs and footprint, and utilization of all by-products increases the electric efficiency of hydrogen production. During hydrogen production by electrolysis the chief part of energy ...

The partly ionized ionosphere responds differently to high power, high frequency radio waves based on the wave frequency, the wave power, the wave polarization, and the propagation angle relative to the magnetic field. Ionospheric modification experiments are conducted to investigate the responses and their dependencies, setting experimental constraints on the contributions from non-resonant collisional ...

The study of the ionosphere has been of central interest since its discovery in the early 20th century. In later decades there has been an increasing appreciation and need for understanding the spatial and temporal structure of the ionosphere and how the structure is affected by various processes in the atmosphere. An important process in this context is that of atmospheric gravity waves ...

<p><b> Background</b> Geographical differences in health outcomes are reported in many countries. Norway has led an active policy aiming for regional balance since the 1970s. Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2019, we examined regional differences in development and current state of health across Norwegian counties. <p><b>Methods</b> Data for life expectancy, healthy ...

The first high-frequency (HF, 8 MHz) observations of the modulation of polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE) by artificial radio heating of the ionosphere are presented and compared to observations at 224 MHz and model predictions. The experiments were performed at the European Incoherent Scatter facility in northern Norway. It is shown that model results are in qualitative and partial quantitative ...
