Addressing impact of climate change on wind and solar energy infrastructures: the case of India

Yasmine Zakari

In the first part of this thesis, the comparison of two families of CORDEX suggests the improved performance of the latest version in reproducing the local climate. The results indicate increasing future trends for annual wind speeds in the north-west (+0. ...

Future trends in wind resources and their consistency in the Indian sub-continent

Michael Lehning, Adrien Michel, Yasmine Zakari

We use the latest Coordinated Regional Dynamical Experiment regional climate models over South Asia at 0.22 degrees grid spacing (WAS-22) under two Representative Concentration Pathways scenarios (RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5) to evaluate their performance against ...

Waterborne virus transport and the associated risks in a large lake

Tamar Kohn, Timothy R. Julian, Xavier Fernandez Cassi, Chaojie Li

Waterborne enteric viruses in lakes, especially at recreational water sites, may have a negative impact on human health. However, their fate and transport in lakes are poorly understood. In this study, we propose a coupled water quality and quantitative mi ...

Density currents driven by differential cooling in lakes: occurrence, dynamics and implications for littoral-pelagic exchange

Tomy Doda

Cross-shore flows exchange water laterally in lakes, with ecological implications for the ecosystem. One example is the convective circulation induced by differential cooling, also known as the thermal siphon. This lateral flow forms when the sloping sides ...
