Williams Syndrome neuroanatomical score associates with GTF2IRD1 in large-scale magnetic resonance imaging cohorts: A proof of concept for multivariate endophenotypes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-08)Despite great interest in using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for studying the effects of genes on brain structure in humans, current approaches have focused almost entirely on predefined regions of interest and had ... -
Willow canopies and plant community structure along an alpine environmental gradient
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005)We examined the impact of Salix lapponum canopies on plantcommunity structure in five sites along a climatic gradient in aglacier foreland in alpine south Norway. Species richness is lowerinside canopies compared to outside ... -
Wilson line correlators beyond the large-Nc
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We study hard 1 → 2 final-state parton splittings in the medium, and put special emphasis on calculating the Wilson line correlators that appear in these calculations. As partons go through the medium their color continuously ... -
Wind and wave extremes over the world oceans from very large ensembles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07)Global return values of marine wind speed and significant wave height are estimated from very large aggregates of archived ensemble forecasts at +240 h lead time. Long lead time ensures that the forecasts represent independent ... -
Wind coherence measurement by a single pulsed Doppler wind lidar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09)A single pulsed Doppler wind lidar, deployed at the FINO1 platform in the North Sea, has been used to monitor the lateral and vertical coherence of the along-wind component. To maximize the sampling frequency of the ... -
Wind Energy on the High Seas: Regulatory Challenges for a Science Fiction Future
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This paper aims to study the current regulation and governance of wind energy turbines on the high seas and detect regulatory challenges. We focus on the existing regulatory framework to develop marine wind farms in areas ... -
Wind Farm Layout Optimization - A case study on maximizing the annual energy production in Creyke Beck B.
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)For offshore wind farms, detailed planning, including wind farm design optimization, is becoming increasingly important to secure and increase the wind farm's revenue during its operational life time. Since the energy ... -
Wind Intensity Is Key to Phytoplankton Spring Bloom Under Climate Change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-30)The onset of the spring bloom (OSB) occurs when phytoplankton growth exceeds losses and is promoted by a transition from deep convection to a shallow mixing layer concurrent with increasing light intensities in nutrient-enriched ... -
Wind of Change: Discourse Collisions and Coalitions in the Fosen Vind Case
(Master thesis, 2023-05-22)I 2021 annullerte Høgsterett konsesjonane til to vindparkar på Fosenhalvøya i Trøndelag. Vindparkane blei vurdert som eit brot på dei lokale samiske reindriftssamane sin rett til “å dyrke sin eigen kultur”, som er beskytta ... -
Wind Stress in the Coastal Zone: Observations from a Buoy in Southwestern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-26)Several studies have focused on the investigation of the wind stress in open ocean conditions where coastal processes were negligible. However, the direction and magnitude of the wind stress vector in coastal areas are ... -
Wind stress mediated variability of the Filchner Trough overflow, Weddell Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-06)The Filchner Trough (FT) is a key site for exchange of water masses between the Weddell Sea continental shelf and the deep ocean. Cold and dense Ice Shelf Water (ISW), a precursor for Antarctic Bottom Water, flows north ... -
Wind to insect pollination ratios and floral traits in five alpine Salix species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1999)This study examines the ratio of wind to insect pollination of five alpine-arctic Salix species and possible correlations between plant traits and this ratio. The field work was done in an alpine area in southwest Norway, ... -
Wind-driven upwelling of iron sustains dense blooms and food webs in the eastern Weddell Gyre
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Southern Ocean is a major sink of anthropogenic CO2 and an important foraging area for top trophic level consumers. However, iron limitation sets an upper limit to primary productivity. Here we report on a considerably ... -
Wind-Driven Variability in the Spitsbergen Polar Current and the Svalbard Branch Across the Yermak Plateau
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Yermak Plateau (YP) acts as a guidance or barrier for the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC), which either crosses the plateau or flows around it to enter the Arctic Ocean. Closer to the West Spitsbergen coast, the Spitsbergen ... -
Wind-Generated Waves in Fjords and Coastal Areas
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-09-02)Accurate predictions of coastal and fjord wave conditions are vital for several sectors such as fish farming, fisheries, as well as coastal and maritime infrastructure. In complex coastlines such as the Norwegian coast ... -
