Atlantic water properties, transport and heat loss from mooring observations north of Svalbard
Koenig, Zoe Charlotte; Kalhagen, Kjersti; Kolås, Eivind Hugaas; Fer, Ilker; Nilsen, Frank; Cottier, Finlo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Atlantic Water inflow to the Arctic Ocean is transformed and modified in the area north of Svalbard, which influences the Arctic Ocean heat and salt budget. Year-round observations are relatively sparse in this region ... -
Calving rates at tidewater glaciers vary strongly with ocean temperature
Luckman, Adrian; Benn, Doug; Cottier, Finlo; Bevan, Suzanne; Nilsen, Frank; Inall, Mark (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-09)Rates of ice mass loss at the calving margins of tidewater glaciers (frontal ablation rates) are a key uncertainty in sea level rise projections. Measurements are difficult because mass lost is replaced by ice flow at ... -
In the dark: a review of ecosystem processes during the Arctic polar night
Berge, Jørgen; Renaud, Paul; Darnis, Gérald; Cottier, Finlo; Last, Kim; Gabrielsen, Tove M.; Johnsen, Geir; Seuthe, Lena; Weslawski, Jan Marcin; Leu, Eva; Moline, Mark A.; Nahrgang, Jasmine; Søreide, Janne; Varpe, Øystein; Lønne, Ole Jørgen; Daase, Malin; Falk-Petersen, Stig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-28)Several recent lines of evidence indicate that the polar night is key to understanding Arctic marine ecosystems. First, the polar night is not a period void of biological activity even though primary production is close ... -
Water mass modification in an Arctic fjord through cross-shelf exchange: The seasonal hydrography of Kongsfjorden, Svalbard
Cottier, Finlo; Tverberg, Vigdis; Inall, Mark; Svendsen, Harald; Nilsen, Frank; Griffiths, Colin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005-12-08)Kongsfjorden and the West Spitsbergen Shelf is a region whose seasonal hydrography is dominated by the balance of Atlantic Water, Arctic waters, and glacial melt. Regional seasonality and the cross-shelf exchange processes ...
