      Muilwijk, Morven; Ilicak, Mehmet; Cornish, Sam B.; Danilov, Sergey; Gelderloos, Renske; Gerdes, Rüdiger; Haid, Verena; Haine, Thomas W.N.; Johnson, Helen L.; Kostov, Yavor; Kovács, Tamás; Lique, Camille; Marson, Juliana M.; Myers, Paul G.; Scott, Jeffery; Smedsrud, Lars H.; Talandier, Claude; Wang, Qiang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-04)
      Plain Language Summary: The North Atlantic Current is an extension of the Gulf Stream, which brings warm Atlantic Water northward as the current flows through the Nordic Seas. Eventually, it enters the cold deep Arctic ...
    • Future strengthening of the Nordic Seas overturning circulation 

      Årthun, Marius; Asbjørnsen, Helene; Chafik, Léon; Johnson, Helen L.; Våge, Kjetil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The overturning circulation in the Nordic Seas involves the transformation of warm Atlantic waters into cold, dense overflows. These overflow waters return to the North Atlantic and form the headwaters to the deep limb of ...
    • Impact of sea ice transport on Beaufort Gyre liquid freshwater content 

      Cornish, Sam B.; Muilwijk, Morven; Scott, Jeffery R.; Marson, Juliana M.; Myers, Paul G.; Zhang, Wenhao; Wang, Qiang; Kostov, Yavor; Johnson, Helen L.; Marshall, John (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The Arctic Ocean’s Beaufort Gyre (BG) is a wind-driven reservoir of relatively fresh seawater, situated beneath time-mean anticyclonic atmospheric circulation, and is covered by mobile pack ice for most of the year. Liquid ...
    • Mechanisms of decadal North Atlantic climate variability and implications for the recent cold anomaly 

      Årthun, Marius; Wills, Robert C.J.; Johnson, Helen L.; Chafik, Leon; Langehaug, Helene R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Decadal sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations in the North Atlantic Ocean influence climate over adjacent land areas and are a major source of skill in climate predictions. However, the mechanisms underlying decadal ...
    • Skillful prediction of northern climate provided by the ocean 

      Årthun, Marius; Eldevik, Tor; Viste, Ellen; Drange, Helge; Furevik, Tore; Johnson, Helen L.; Keenlyside, Noel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-06-20)
      It is commonly understood that a potential for skillful climate prediction resides in the ocean. It nevertheless remains unresolved to what extent variable ocean heat is imprinted on the atmosphere to realize its predictive ...
    • Variable Nordic Seas Inflow Linked to Shifts in North Atlantic Circulation 

      Asbjørnsen, Helene; Johnson, Helen L.; Årthun, Marius (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The inflow across the Iceland-Scotland Ridge determines the amount of heat supplied to the Nordic Seas from the subpolar North Atlantic (SPNA). Consequently, variable inflow properties and volume transport at the ridge ...
