- This study deals attenuation of ultraviolet solar radiation measured during the SWEDARP 1997/1998 expedition in the eastern Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. Experimental data were measured on board a ship and theoretical computation of radiative transfer has been applied. Focus has been placed on biologically effective UV-B doses using three commonly applied biological weighting functions based on: inhibition of carbon dioxide fixation (Science 258 (1992) 646); Generalized plant effects (Stratospheric Ozone Reduction, Solar Ultraviolet Radiation and Plant Life 1986, Springer, Berlin) and DNA lesions (Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 71 (1974) 3363). The ratio of measured dose to that under clear sky condition, calculated by a model, was defined as transmittance which was studied in relation to other information. Further, the interrelationship between the biologically effective UV doses and various broadband irradiance in the UV-A, UV-B and PAR was established. It shows that the UV-B doses based on the three weighting functions are closely linked to each other and their cloud transmittances are nearly the same. The biologically effective UV-B doses can be estimated with reasonable accuracy from the broadband irradiance in the UV-A, UV-B and PAR regions, with UV-B giving the best results. Univariate analysis between the transmittance and zenith angle, total cloud cover and cloud base height was performed. It is found that attenuation is almost independent of zenith angle. Transmission is reduced by 7.7% if the cloud cover is increased by one octa. The average transmittance of the UV-B doses is 0.40, indicating that clouds have played an important role in reducing the UV radiation. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Climate-induced variability of sea level in Stockholm: Influence of air temperature and atmospheric circulation
- 2005

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study is focused on climate-induced variation of sea level in Stockholm during 1873-1995. After the effect of the land uplift is removed, the residual is characterized and related to large-scale temperature and atmospheric circulation. The residual shows an overall upward trend, although this result depends on the uplift rate used. However, the seasonal distribution of the trend is uneven. There are even two months (June and August) that show a negative trend. The significant trend in August may be linked to fresh water input that is controlled by precipitation. The influence of the atmospheric conditions on the sea level is mainly manifested through zonal winds, vorticity and temperature. While the wind is important in the period January-May, the vorticity plays a main role during June and December. A successful linear multiple-regression model linking the climatic variables (zonal winds, vorticity and mean air temperature during the previous two months) and the sea level is established for each month. An independent verification of the model shows that it has considerable skill in simulating the variability.

European Trend Atlas of Extreme Temperature and Precipitation Records
- 2015
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This Atlas presents records of climatic variability and change in Europe starting before 1901 and focuses especially on trends of extreme temperatures and precipitation. The authors have used software developed within EMULATE (European and North Atlantic daily to MULtidecadal climATE variability) to obtain the extremes indices and temporal trends. The trend atlas provides an easy way to identify spatial patterns for a given time period, region, season, and index. The Atlas clearly shows that climate in Europe has changed over the last 100 to 150 years, such that the occurrence and intensity of warm temperature extremes have increased. Precipitation extremes have also changed, but with a less clear pattern compared to the temperature extremes.
