Theses and Dissertations

This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

    D'Amours, Réal

    the papers constitutes a distinct scientific study, as a group, they are unified by their collective focus on transport within and exchange between the atmospheric layers. After a brief overview of the three main layers that account for most of the atmosphere's mass, and of their interfaces, the

    describing the time evolution of the probability density distribution of those particles in phase-space. The Lagrangian transport models developed and used operationally at the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC) of Environment Canada are presented, and the various simulated physical processes are also

    troposphere and the planetary boundary layer are examined in detail with the aid of a simple diagnostic model developed to estimate the turbulent kinetic energy and the turbulent velocity variances. This model produces plausible profiles of the vertical velocity variance σw2, and of the vertical distribution
