Overview

Ulf Högström is affiliated with Uppsala University in Sweden and has contributed to the field of Earth and Planetary Sciences with a focus on Oceanography and Atmospheric Science. Their research addresses key topics in meteorological phenomena and simulations, oceanographic and atmospheric processes, as well as ocean waves and remote sensing.

Their recent publication titled "Momentum fluxes and wind gradients in the marine boundary layer - a multi-platform study" appeared in 2024 in the venue Helda (University of Helsinki). This work explores complex interactions within the marine atmospheric boundary layer, providing data that is relevant for understanding momentum transfer and wind dynamics over marine environments.

Throughout their career, Ulf Högström has collaborated with several frequent co-authors including:

  • Erik Sahlée
  • William M. Drennan
  • Kimmo K. Kahma
  • Ann-Sofi Smedman
  • Cecilia Johansson

Their scholarly contributions have predominantly appeared in Helda (University of Helsinki), marking this venue as a significant outlet for their published research. Their main disciplinary engagement lies within Earth and Planetary Sciences, with specific attention given to subfields such as Oceanography and Atmospheric Science.

The primary topics addressed in their work include:

  • Meteorological Phenomena and Simulations
  • Oceanographic and Atmospheric Processes
  • Ocean Waves and Remote Sensing

This focus indicates a comprehensive approach to environmental and atmospheric dynamics, integrating observational and modeling techniques to advance knowledge in these areas. The lack of listed book publications suggests that their output is concentrated in journal articles and research studies rather than monographs or textbooks.
