Koenig, Zoe Charlotte; Fer, Ilker; Chierici, Melissa; Fransson, Agneta; Jones, Elizabeth Marie; Kolås, Eivind Hugaas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Atlantic Water, entering the Arctic through the Barents Sea and Fram Strait, is the main source of nutrients in the Arctic Ocean. The Barents Sea is divided by the Polar Front into an Atlantic-dominated domain in the ... -
Directional wave measurements using an autonomous vessel
Hole, L. R.; Fer, Ilker; Peddie, David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-01)An autonomous vessel, the Offshore Sensing Sailbuoy, was used for wave measurements near the Ekofisk oil platform complex in the North Sea (56.5º N, 3.2º E, operated by ConocoPhillips) from 6 to 20 November 2015.
