    • Along‐stream, seasonal, and interannual variability of the North Icelandic Irminger Current and East Icelandic Current around Iceland 

      Casanova-Masjoan, M; Perez-Hernandez, MD; Pickart, Robert S.; Valdimarsson, Héðinn; Ólafsdóttir, SR; Macrander, Andreas; Grisolía-Santos, D; Torres, Daniel J.; Jónsson, Steingrímur; Våge, Kjetil; Lin, Peigen; Hernández-Guerra, A (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Data from repeat hydrographic surveys over the 25-year period 1993 to 2017, together with satellite altimetry data, are used to quantify the temporal and spatial variability of the North Icelandic Irminger Current (NIIC), ...

    • Characteristics and Transformation of Pacific Winter Water on the Chukchi Sea Shelf in Late Spring 

      Pacini, Astrid; Moore, George William Kent; Pickart, Robert S.; Nobre, Carolina; Bahr, Frank; Våge, Kjetil; Arrigo, Kevin R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Data from a late spring survey of the northeast Chukchi Sea are used to investigate various aspects of newly ventilated winter water (NVWW). More than 96% of the water sampled on the shelf was NVWW, the saltiest (densest) ...

    • Coupled atmosphere–ocean observations of a cold-air outbreak and its impact on the Iceland Sea 

      Renfrew, Ian A.; Huang, Jie; Semper, Stefanie; Barrell, Christopher; Terpstra, Annick; Pickart, Robert S.; Våge, Kjetil; Elvidge, Andrew D.; Spengler, Thomas; Strehl, Anna-Marie; Weiss, Alexandra (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Marine cold-air outbreaks (CAOs) are vigorous equatorward excursions of cold air over the ocean, responsible for the majority of wintertime oceanic heat loss from the subpolar seas of the North Atlantic. However, the impact ...

    • Decreasing intensity of open-ocean convection in the Greenland and Iceland seas 

      Moore, George William Kent; Våge, Kjetil; Pickart, Robert S.; Renfrew, Ian A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      The air–sea transfer of heat and fresh water plays a critical role in the global climate system1. This is particularly true for the Greenland and Iceland seas, where these fluxes drive ocean convection that contributes to ...

    • The Emergence of the North Icelandic Jet and Its Evolution from Northeast Iceland to Denmark Strait 

      Semper, Stefanie; Våge, Kjetil; Pickart, Robert S.; Valdimarsson, Hedinn; Torres, Daniel J.; Jónsson, Steingrímur (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The North Icelandic Jet (NIJ) is an important source of dense water to the overflow plume passing through Denmark Strait. The properties, structure, and transport of the NIJ are investigated for the first time along its ...

    • An evaluation of surface meteorology and fluxes over the Iceland and Greenland Seas in ERA5 reanalysis: The impact of sea ice distribution 

      Renfrew, Ian A.; Barrell, C.; Elvidge, A.D.; Brooke, J.K.; Duscha, Christiane; King, J.C.; Kristiansen, Jørn; Cope, T. Lachlan; Moore, George William Kent; Pickart, Robert S.; Reuder, Joachim; Sandu, I.; Sergeev, Denis; Terpstra, Annick; Våge, Kjetil; Weiss, A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The Iceland and Greenland Seas are a crucial region for the climate system, being the headwaters of the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Investigating the atmosphere–ocean–ice processes in ...

    • Evolution and Transformation of the North Icelandic Irminger Current Along the North Iceland Shelf 

      Semper, Stefanie; Våge, Kjetil; Pickart, Robert S.; Jónsson, Steingrímur; Valdimarsson, Hedinn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The North Icelandic Irminger Current (NIIC) flowing northward through Denmark Strait is the main source of salt and heat to the north Iceland shelf. We quantify its along-stream evolution using the first high-resolution ...

    • Fate of Warm Pacific Water in the Arctic Basin 

      Lin, Peigen; Pickart, Robert S.; Våge, Kjetil; Li, Jianqiang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Pacific Summer Water (PSW) plays a critical role in the ecosystem of the western Arctic Ocean, impacting sea-ice melt and providing freshwater to the basin. Most of the water exits the Chukchi Sea shelf through Barrow ...

    • How warm Gulf Stream water sustains a cold underwater waterfall 

      Semper, Stefanie; Glessmer, Mirjam Sophia; Våge, Kjetil; Pickart, Robert S. (Journal article, 2022)
      The most famous ocean current, the Gulf Stream, is part of a large system of currents that brings warm water from Florida to Europe. It is a main reason for northwestern Europe’s mild climate. What happens to the warm water ...

    • The Iceland-Faroe Slope Jet: a conduit for dense water toward the Faroe Bank Channel overflow 

      Semper, Stefanie; Pickart, Robert S.; Våge, Kjetil; Larsen, Karin Margretha H.; Hátún, Hjálmar; Hansen, Bogi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Dense water from the Nordic Seas passes through the Faroe Bank Channel and supplies the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a critical component of the climate system. Yet, the upstream pathways ...

    • 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 ...

    • Upstream sources of the Denmark Strait Overflow: Observations from a high-resolution mooring array
