Bjørgo, Einar; Johannessen, Ola M.; Miles, Martin W. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1997-02-15)The most consistent means of investigating the global sea ice cover is by satellite passive microwave sensors, as these are independent of illumination and cloud cover. The Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer ... -

(Tellus A 56A(4), Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004-07-09)Changes apparent in the arctic climate system in recent years require evaluation in a century-scale perspective in order to assess the Arctic's response to increasing anthropogenic greenhouse-gas forcing. Here, a new set ... -

Coastal wind field retrievals from ERS synthetic aperture radar images
Korsbakken, E.; Johannessen, Johnny A.; Johannessen, Ola M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1998-04-15)A unique series of European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS) 1 and 2 C band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images was obtained off the southern coast of Norway during the Coast Watch’95 experiment in September 1995. In this ... -
COASTWATCH´95: ERS 1/2 SAR detection of natural film on the ocean surface
Espedal, Heidi A.; Johannessen, Ola M.; Johannessen, Johnny A.; Dano, E.; Lyzenga, D. R.; Knulst, Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1998-10-15)Ocean mesoscale phenomena such as eddies and current convergence zones can often be seen in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images due to characteristic patterns caused by natural film induced damping of the waves. Such ... -
Convective chimneys and plumes in the Northern Greenland Sea
Johannessen, Ola M.; Lygre, Kjetil; Eldevik, Tor (Geophysical Monograph Series;30, Chapter, 2005)In the Boreas Basin in the northern Greenland Sea, convection has been observed to be localized as narrow structures - chimneys - in which the water masses may be homogeneous from the surface through great depths. An ... -

Critical vulnerabilities of marine and sea ice–based ecosystems in the high Arctic
Johannessen, Ola M.; Miles, Martin W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-12-01)The objectives of this paper are to summarise: (1) observed 20th-century and projected 21st-century changes in key components of the Arctic climate system and (2) probable impacts on the Arctic marine environment, with ... -
Decreasing Arctic Sea Ice Mirrors Increasing CO2 on Decadal Time Scale
Johannessen, Ola M. (Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, Journal article, 2008-11-16)Arctic sea ice is a keystone indicator of greenhouse-gas induced global climate change, which is expected to be amplified in the Arctic. Here we directly compare observed variations in arctic sea-ice extent and CO2 since ... -
An ERS 1 synthetic aperture radar image of atmospheric lee waves
