Atlantic Water Circulation and Properties Northwest of Svalbard During Anomalous Southerly Winds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Atlantic Water (AW), the main source of heat and salt for the Arctic Ocean, undergoes large transformations (cooling and freshening) north of Svalbard as it flows near the surface above the Yermak Plateau (YP). In September ... -
Bottom melting of Arctic Sea Ice in the Nansen Basin due to Atlantic Water influence
(Master thesis, 2016-05-24)The hydrographic situation for a region north of Svalbard is investigated using observations from the Norwegian Young Sea Ice Cruise (N-ICE2015). Observations from January to June 2015 are compared to historical observations ... -
Climatic and environmental factors influencing occurrence and distribution of macroalgae – a fjord gradient revisited
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)During the last decades, trends of increasing sea water temperatures and precipitation have been observed in the North Atlantic. Increasing sea water temperatures are expected to have strong effects on coastal benthic ... -
Inherent optical properties of dissolved and particulate matter in an Arctic fjord (Storfjorden, Svalbard) in early summer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Lysforholdene i havet spiller en nøkkelrolle for marin primærproduksjon og dermed for det hele marine økosystemet. I polområdene er det spesielt stor sesongvariasjon i lysforholdene, og mange ulike prosesser kan påvirke ... -
A quantitative description of the West Spitsbergen Current by combining hydrography, altimetry and in-situ current meters
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)In a warming Arctic Ocean (AO) it is important to study its main source of oceanic heat and salt. Here, seasonal climatological sections of the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) across 78.83°N have been constructed using ... -
Seasonality of the Physical and Biogeochemical Hydrography in the Inflow to the Arctic Ocean Through Fram Strait
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-29)Eastern Fram Strait and the shelf slope region north of Svalbard is dominated by the advection of warm, salty and nutrient-rich Atlantic Water (AW). This oceanic heat contributes to keeping the area relatively free of ice. ...
