Circulation and transformation of Atlantic and Arctic water masses in climate models
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-12-09)Ocean heat transport and associated heat loss to the atmosphere contributes significantly to the anomalously mild climate of northwestern Europe and its variability. In this thesis, the circulation and transformation of ... -
Circulation and water masses beneath the northern Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica
(Journal article, 2004-12-14)We present oceanographic data from beneath the northern Ronne Ice Shelf. The data were collected during the austral summer of 2002–2003 from four sites located near the ice front in the Ronne Depression. They consist of ... -
Circulation features in the northern North Atlantic Ocean inferred from simulated radioactive tracers
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-03-12) -
The circulation of the Norwegian Sea- An investigation from space and ocean
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-01-10)The Norwegian Sea circulation plays a key role in maintaining the mild climate of the northwestern Europe via the transport of warm Atlantic Water pole-ward. The first paper addresses the advective currents connecting the ... -
Climate based multi-year predictions of the Barents Sea cod stock.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-24)Predicting fish stock variations on interannual to decadal time scales is one of the major issues in fisheries science and management. Although the field of marine ecological predictions is still in its infancy, it is ... -
Climate change and safe design of ship structures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02)The paper addresses projected changes of wave climate in the North Atlantic and their impact on the safe design of ships, with a particular focus given on associated uncertainties. The Fifth Assessment Report of the ... -
Climate change in the North – past, present and future
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)The Nordic countries have produced famous polar explorers and researchers who have generated climate research schools at a variety of locations. The dependence of these countries with respect to the lifelihood of their ... -
Climate controlled mechanisms of subpolar North Atlantic carbon uptake
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-06-27)The North Atlantic is a key region for global climate variability. Earlier studies have shown changes in the large-scale circulation, air-sea heat and freshwater fluxes and the carbon cycle in the North Atlantic in relation ... -
Climate forcing of summer carbon drawdown in the subpolar North Atlantic
(Master thesis, 2015-08-28)This thesis present a 9-year long time series of surface seawater fCO2 data obtained aboard the MV Nuka Arctica. The Nuka Arctica provide full seasonal fCO2 measurements which give a good picture of the fCO2 variability ... -
Climatic mean and interannual variation of northern Barents Sea water mass distribution and circulation. A combined study of ROMS, current and hydrography observations
(Master thesis, 2008-06-02)Evaluating current measurements, hydrography observations and model (ROMS) results of the northern Barents Sea, water mass distribution and circulation is investigated. Water mass exchange with the Arctic Ocean is linked ... -
Climatology of polar lows impacting Norway
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Polar lows (PLs), mesoscale cyclones in high latitudes, impacting Norway are studied in this thesis. A climatology of PLs in the Nordic seas for the period 1979-2015 is made, by applying a cyclone detection and tracking ... -
Coastal ocean fronts and eddies imaged with ERS 1 synthetic aperture radar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1996-03-15)ERS 1 C band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data were collected during the Norwegian Continental Shelf Experiment (NORCSEX) both in November 1991 during the ERS 1 commissioning phase and at different seasons in 1992 and ... -
Coastal submesoscale processes and their effect on phytoplankton distribution in the southeastern Bay of Biscay
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Submesoscale processes have a determinant role in the dynamics of oceans by transporting momentum, heat, mass, and particles. Furthermore, they can define niches where different phytoplankton species flourish and accumulate ... -
COASTWATCH´95: ERS 1/2 SAR detection of natural film on the ocean surface
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1998-10-15)Ocean mesoscale phenomena such as eddies and current convergence zones can often be seen in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images due to characteristic patterns caused by natural film induced damping of the waves. Such ... -
Cold Air Mass Analysis of the Record-Breaking Cold Surge Event over East Asia in January 2016
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)An extreme cold surge event caused record-breaking low temperatures in East Asia during 20-25 January 2016. The planetary- and synoptic-scale feature of the event is investigated quantitatively using the isentropic cold ... -
Cold nuclear fusion theories. Exploration of exotic hydrogen states
(Master thesis, 2018-05-10)Nuclear fusion technologies hold the potential to revolutionize the way we produce energy on earth. It is an opportunity to lift our current dependency on external factors such as weather and fossil reserves while producing ... -
Combined influence of oceanic and atmospheric circulations on Greenland sea ice concentration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The amount and spatial extent of Greenland Sea (GS) ice are primarily controlled by the sea ice export across the Fram Strait (FS) and by local seasonal sea ice formation, melting, and sea ice dynamics. In this study, using ... -
A combined stokes drift profile under swell and wind sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A combined directional Stokes drift profile for swell and wind sea is presented. The profile can be used to calculate the shear under crossing seas and as such is relevant for Langmuir turbulence and Stokes–Coriolis forcing, ... -
The COMBLE Campaign: A Study of Marine Boundary Layer Clouds in Arctic Cold-Air Outbreaks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)One of the most intense air mass transformations on Earth happens when cold air flows from frozen surfaces to much warmer open water in cold-air outbreaks (CAOs), a process captured beautifully in satellite imagery. Despite ... -
