    • Sources and upstream pathways of the densest overflow water in the Nordic Seas 

      Huang, Jie; Pickart, Robert S.; Huang, Rui Xin; Lin, Peigen; Brakstad, Ailin; Xu, Fanghua (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Overflow water from the Nordic Seas comprises the deepest limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, yet questions remain as to where it is ventilated and how it reaches the Greenland-Scotland Ridge. Here we ...

    • Structure and drivers of ocean mixing north of Svalbard in summer and fall 2018 

      Koenig, Zoe Charlotte; Kolås, Eivind Hugaas; Fer, Ilker (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The Arctic Ocean is a major sink for heat and salt for the global ocean. Ocean mixing contributes to this sink by mixing the Atlantic- and Pacific-origin waters with surrounding waters. We investigate the drivers of ocean ...

    • Toward an ice-free Barents Sea 

      Onarheim, Ingrid Husøy; Årthun, Marius (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Arctic winter sea ice loss is most pronounced in the Barents Sea. Here we combine observations since 1850 with climate model simulations to examine the recent record low winter Barents Sea ice extent. We find that the ...

    • Vertical structure and seasonal variability of the inflow to the Lofoten Basin inferred from high resolution Lagrangian simulations 

      Dugstad, Johannes Sandanger; Kozalka, Inga Monika; Isachsen, Pål Erik; Dagestad, Knut-Frode; Fer, Ilker (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-13)
      The Lofoten Basin in the eastern Nordic Seas plays a central role in modifying the warm Atlantic Water inflow toward the Arctic Ocean. Here, the Atlantic Water experiences increased residence times, cooling, and substantial ...
