• Bottom melting of Arctic Sea Ice in the Nansen Basin due to Atlantic Water influence 

      Muilwijk, Morven Korneel (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 ...
    • Interannual variations of freshwater content in Hornsund 

      Dølven, Knut Ola (Master thesis, 2015-05-04)
      Salinity measurements have been used to calculate the freshwater content in Hornsund for the years 2001 to 2014. In 2011 there was significantly higher freshwater content in the fjord, compared to the other years, with a ...
    • Loss of sea ice during winter north of Svalbard 

      Onarheim, Ingrid Husøy; Smedsrud, Lars Henrik; Ingvaldsen, Randi; Nilsen, Frank (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-05)
      Sea ice loss in the Arctic Ocean has up to now been strongest during summer. In contrast, the sea ice concentration north of Svalbard has experienced a larger decline during winter since 1979. The trend in winter ice area ...
    • Seasonal dynamics of the marine CO2 system in Adventfjorden, a West Spitsbergen fjord 

      Ericson, Ylva; Chierici, Melissa; Falck, Eva; Fransson, Agneta Ingrid; Jones, Elizabeth Marie; Kristiansen, Svein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-11)
      Time series of the marine CO2 system and related parameters at the IsA Station, by Adventfjorden, Svalbard, were investigated between March 2015 and November 2017. The physical and biogeochemical processes that govern ...
    • A study on the Atmospheric Boundary Layer in the High Arctic during winter 

      Frøyland, Andreas (Master thesis, 2016-08-26)
      We investigated the stable boundary layer in Adventdalen by measuring meteorological parameters with Sonic anemometers at two heights, as well as slow response measurements, during a 7 week measurement campaign from February ...
    • Warming of Atlantic Water in two west Spitsbergen fjords over the last century (1912-2009) 

      Pavlov, Alexey K.; Tverberg, Vigdis; Ivanov, Boris; Nilsen, Frank; Falk-Petersen, Stig; Granskog, Mats A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-06)
      The recently observed warming of west Spitsbergen fjords has led to anomalous sea-ice conditions and has implications for the marine ecosystem. We investigated long-term trends of maximum temperature of Atlantic Water (AW) ...
