Urgilez Vinueza, A.R. (author)Landslide activity in the Andes remains an ongoing natural hazard with significant implications for regional development. Slow-moving landslides, while not typically resulting in catastrophic outcomes, can still cause substantial damage to critical infrastructure, including roads, buildings, crops, and hydropower dams. In southeast Ecuador, slow...doctoral thesis 2024

Kroese, Willem (author)Uncertainty in the radiative forcing from anthropogenic activities since the Industrial Revolution is dominated by how clouds respond to aerosol. Climate projections are limited by this uncertainty. The cloud response to aerosol is influenced by the meteorological conditions of the atmosphere wherein the cloud is suspended. Understanding the...master thesis 2023

Vroom, Anika (author)This thesis explores the application of Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology to observe temperature gradients and turbulent eddies within and above a forest vegetation layer. Atmospheric temperature gradients tie directly to heat transfer, a primary mode of which are turbulent eddies. The goal in studying these elements is to enhance...master thesis 2023

Malfliet, Jari (author)Wind estimation plays an important role in many aspects of our world, both for nowcasting and forecasting. This is also true for aircraft flight routes; where wind field knowledge can contribute to flight planning and safety. Aircraft can relay flight information back to ground-based receivers, from which local wind measurements can be derived....master thesis 2023

Boekee, J. (author), Dai, Y. (author), Schilperoort, B. (author), van de Wiel, B.J.H. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author)To mitigate spring frost damage, fruit farmers use wind machines to mix warm overlying air down to the vegetation. Up to this point, studies on wind machine efficiency have focused on air temperatures. The temperature of different plant organs during operation remains unknown, while critical for the actual degree of frost damage. With...journal article 2023

Mulder, G. (author), van Leijen, F.J. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)The observed phase in time series of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) products is a superposition of various components. Differential topography, line-of-sight displacements, and differential atmospheric delays are the main contributions and need to be disentangled to derive accurate digital elevation model (DEM), deformation,...journal article 2023

Peng, Shaoyuan (author), Liu, Y. (author), Li, Renge (author), Wei, Ying (author), Chan, Pak Wai (author), Li, Sunwei (author)Simulating a typhoon’s wind field via mesoscale models is important in terms of providing not only the guidelines for urban planning and onshore/offshore constructions, but also the provision of insight into the dynamics and thermodynamics of tropical cyclone systems. Therefore, the errors that are contained in simulation results were...journal article 2022

Mulder, G. (author), van Leijen, F.J. (author), Barkmeijer, Jan (author), De Haan, Siebren (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are used to predict the weather based on current observations in combination with physical and mathematical models. Yet, they are limited by the spatial density and the accuracy of the available observations. Satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) is known to be extremely sensitive to the 3D...journal article 2022
