Mechanisms of offshore solid and liquid freshwater flux from the East Greenland Current
Spall, Michael A.; Semper, Stefanie; Våge, Kjetil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The mechanisms that control the export of freshwater from the East Greenland Current, in both liquid and solid form, are explored using an idealized numerical model and scaling theory. A regional, coupled ocean–sea ice ... -
Ocean convection linked to the recent ice edge retreat along east Greenland
Våge, Kjetil; Papritz, Lukas; Håvik, Lisbeth; Spall, Michael A.; Moore, George William Kent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03-29)Warm subtropical-origin Atlantic water flows northward across the Greenland-Scotland Ridge into the Nordic Seas, where it relinquishes heat to the atmosphere and gradually transforms into dense Atlantic-origin water. ... -
On the Dynamics and Water Mass Transformation of a Boundary Current Connecting Alpha and Beta Oceans
Lambert, Erwin; Eldevik, Tor; Spall, Michael A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-19)A subpolar marginal sea, like the Nordic seas, is a transition zone between the temperature-stratified subtropics (the alpha ocean) and the salinity-stratified polar regions (the beta ocean). An inflow of Atlantic Water ... -
Structure and Forcing of Observed Exchanges across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge
Bringedal, Carina; Eldevik, Tor; Skagseth, Øystein; Spall, Michael A.; Østerhus, Svein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and associated poleward heat transport are balanced by northern heat loss to the atmosphere and corresponding water-mass transformation. The circulation of northward-flowing ...
