    • Large changes in sea ice triggered by small changes in Atlantic water temperature 

      Jensen, Mari Fjalstad; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Spall, Michael A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06)
      The sensitivity of sea ice to the temperature of inflowing Atlantic water across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge is investigated using an eddy-resolving configuration of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology General ...

    • Mechanisms of offshore solid and liquid freshwater flux from the East Greenland Current 

      Spall, Michael A.; Semper, Stefanie; Våge, Kjetil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      The mechanisms that control the export of freshwater from the East Greenland Current, in both liquid and solid form, are explored using an idealized numerical model and scaling theory. A regional, coupled ocean–sea ice ...

    • Ocean convection linked to the recent ice edge retreat along east Greenland 

      Våge, Kjetil; Papritz, Lukas; Håvik, Lisbeth; Spall, Michael A.; Moore, George William Kent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03-29)
      Warm subtropical-origin Atlantic water flows northward across the Greenland-Scotland Ridge into the Nordic Seas, where it relinquishes heat to the atmosphere and gradually transforms into dense Atlantic-origin water. ...

    • On the Dynamics and Water Mass Transformation of a Boundary Current Connecting Alpha and Beta Oceans 

      Lambert, Erwin; Eldevik, Tor; Spall, Michael A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-19)
      A subpolar marginal sea, like the Nordic seas, is a transition zone between the temperature-stratified subtropics (the alpha ocean) and the salinity-stratified polar regions (the beta ocean). An inflow of Atlantic Water ...

    • On the effect of a sill on dense water formation in a marginal sea 

      Doroteaciro, Iovino; Fiammetta, Straneo; Spall, Michael A. (Journal article, 2008-05)
      The properties of water mass transformation in a semi-enclosed basin, separated from the open ocean by a sill and subject to surface cooling, are analyzed both theoretically and numerically using an ocean general circulation ...

    • Structure and Forcing of Observed Exchanges across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge 

      Bringedal, Carina; Eldevik, Tor; Skagseth, Øystein; Spall, Michael A.; Østerhus, Svein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and associated poleward heat transport are balanced by northern heat loss to the atmosphere and corresponding water-mass transformation. The circulation of northward-flowing ...
