• The impact of surface currents on the wave climate in narrow fjords 

      Christakos, Konstantinos; Björkqvist, Jan-Victor; Breivik, Øyvind; Tuomi, Laura; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Albretsen, Jon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      This study investigates the effect of surface currents on wind-generated waves in a complex coastal system with narrow fjords. The simulations are based on a phase-averaged wave model forced with surface currents from a ...
    • The importance of wind forcing in fjord wave modelling 

      Christakos, Konstantinos; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Aarnes, Ole Johan; Breivik, Øyvind; Tuomi, Laura; Byrkjedal, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-03)
      Accurate predictions of surface ocean waves in coastal areas are important for a number of marine activities. In complex coastlines with islands and fjords, the quality of wind forcing significantly affects the results. ...
    • Modelling wave growth in narrow fetch geometries: The white-capping and wind input formulations 

      Christakos, Konstantinos; Björkqvist, Jan-Victor; Tuomi, Laura; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Breivik, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      This paper investigates the performance of three different wave model source term packages in narrow fetch geometries. The packages are used to model the sea state in a complex coastal system with narrow fjords on the west ...
    • Nemo-Nordic 1.0: A NEMO-based ocean model for the Baltic and North seas - Research and operational applications 

      Hordoir, Robinson; Axell, Lars; Höglund, Anders; Dieterich, Christian; Fransner, Filippa; Gröger, Matthias; Liu, Ye; Pemberton, Per; Schimanke, Semjon; Andersson, Helen; Ljungemyr, Patrik; Nygren, Petter; Falahat, Saeed; Nord, Adam; Jönsson, Anette; Lake, Iréne; Döös, Kristofer; Hieronymus, Magnus; Dietze, Heiner; Löptien, Ulrike; Kuznetsov, Ivan; Westerlund, Antti; Tuomi, Laura; Haapala, Jari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-21)
      We present Nemo-Nordic, a Baltic and North Sea model based on the NEMO ocean engine. Surrounded by highly industrialized countries, the Baltic and North seas and their assets associated with shipping, fishing and tourism ...
